That's true and I tried it once which didn't go very well. I couldn't remember the name I gave a previous bank and had to take my passport in to prove who I was. Also just in case anyone plays the lottery Camelot need your correct details. If they don't have them they don't pay out on big wins.
I’ve mixed mine up a bit and it does confuse staff on the phone when they ask for your fathers first name and you answer ‘smoked cod’ and ‘Trevor’ is your preferred colour! But most understand and often have a chuckle,

I had a passport a few years ago whose number I knew off by heart: not sure why and reading the last post the number came straight to me. Obviously I can’t state it here even though it’s been cancelled.
As for my current passports; I have to check them every time! Or maybe tempus fugit applies 😀.

BAEC, yes
NI no. , yes.
My ID no., yes.
Passport no. , No. Which one? I currently have 3 valid passports, all issued by the same country. And I've applied for a further 2. So that will make 5 valid passports for the next 6-7 years
My UK, ZA, & VN mobiles, yes.
