i simply do not want to go thru the motions of verification i want to buy the bit coin. how do i go about this

You can't skip bank account verification, since it's necessary to prevent theft and abuse. Just do the verification, or purchase from a trustworthy individual in person and use cash.

If you don't want to wait to verify your id, why you choose bank transference? Bank transference can took more time than verify your id.
To skip id verification you can try another system to buy bitcoins, provably cash to bitcoins with a local seller, you can find someone on localbitcoins.

Voucher will do.
Some exchangers allow their member to issue voucher which will then be offered by the user to anyone who want to buy from him. This way, the end user (buyer of the voucher) can get btc without having to do verification. CMIIW.

Verification where? I get the impression that localbitcoins sellers are a lot more anal than they used to be, but back in the day I'd happily bank transfer to them without any type of verification.

Right, It's an easy way to buy bitcoin no need a verification and just take a short time. you can try this step it's very recommended for you who didn't to wait long. Simply and easy step to buying bitcoin without waiting for verification.

Localbitcoins still has some reputed sellers whom accept bank transfer without any verification.

if you want to buy over $1000 expect to need verification
if you want to buy over $10,000 definitely expect to need verification.

if you are not asked for verification for large amounts then accept the risk that who you are dealing with may not be 'on the level'

there is sometimes nothing wrong with trading independently but there is an increase of risk with who you are trading with. so best rule of thumb is, even if they dont want to verify you. dont just throw your funds at them without thinking.. instead find out who they are, incase they run off with your cash.

great advice for both sides of a trade:
remember if you dont know them well enough to slap them with a wet fish should they steal your cash. dont hand them more then your ok to lose.

if still in doubt, use an escrow. (localbitcoins uses escrow and try to avoid people who decline using escrow)

Buy with a credit card, it is easier and faster. Or find people from your country in localbitcoin direct transactions with face to face or through any locabitcoin. Or use perfect money, there is not required verification. Thank you

I agree with you OP, the verification process is a burden. The type of information being needed to verify and also the process to send this electronically to some of these services, really bugs me too. That information has to be stored in digital form on a centralized server, and will allow, when hacked <because it will happen> people to create fake accounts in your name on other services.

This kills all pseudo-anonymity Bitcoin has for the user of this technology. Where did Satoshi say, we need to link real identities to the Blockchain? The banks and financial systems and their governments force this onto people.   

How about using Kraken for instance? I believe they don't need any verification for smaller amounts.

Unless you want bigger amounts, some type of verification will always be needed, no matter where you buy your coins.

I have never tried localbitcoins personally, mainly because of very easy services around the Netherlands (bitonic), that offer instant transfers for just a slight premium. That is worth any hassle to me.

Don't buy via bank transfer then, you can find an exchanger on your local people. I'm sure there is a man that want accept exchange from your money into bitcoins.
