I would contact Western Union to find out information regarding Western Union money transfer recipients.
It's going to tend to be more accurate and reliable than answers on Y!
It depends if the recipient is in this country or another; in this country probably a driver's license or state-issued ID. But call the Western Union office and ask them.

I've always been asked for a drivers license. They ask all kinds of questions to verify the recipient's identity.

lol.
photo ID legitimately owns by the recipient, may I say?
valid ID and the money transfer number MTN--it would be useful also if you could tell them the exact amount you are expecting, because only you would know that.

You need a valid ID and the MTCN #.

Be prepared to have 2 IDs.
Any of the following, as long as your photo and your signature appears:
1. passport
2. driver's license
3. SSS or GSIS id
4. company ID

I have been sending money to the Philippines by Western Union for over 7 years. To recieve money in the Philippines the reciever must show a drivers license or an I.D. card issued by the local municipality, A passport or some people will accept a student I.D. card. What ever type of I.D. you use, it must have your photo on it. The sender will also have to give you the "Control Number" for the money transfere

NO ID is needed if the sender uses a secret questions that the reciever knows the answer to.

A Western Union Gold card is handy. At my fiancees local Western Union office they know her by name and greet her with a cheery "Good morning ma'am."

Take your pick as long as it's valid.. <*-*>
☻Passport
☻Driver's License
☻PRC ID
☻NBI Clearance
☻Postal ID
☻Student ID
☻Voter's ID
☻GSIS e-card
☻SSS ID
☻OWWA ID
☻OFW ID
☻Employment ID
☻Government issued IDs
You need a MTCN and the number of IDs you need to present depends on how much money will the recipient receive. If below $200, you only need one valid ID but if more than $200, you need to pesent 2 valid IDs.
