Lookup http://www.copay.io or search Copay on the Google PlayStore.

I installed Copay and tried to connect it to Coinbase but when i authorize a white box opens and nothing happens. I went to Coinbase and looked into how you could buy bitcoins but i need a US driver licence, ID or Passport. I then tried with Gildera but it said i need a US bank account.

I have not used Copay before but if using Coinbase yes you will have to link a bank account to your coinbase account.
I am not sure that you have to upload any ID if you link a bank account or not.

I use Coinjar and when i linked my bank account all i had to do was give them the account details, they sent a small transaction with a code and i then entered that code into my account on Coinjar, easy but all up took about 3 days i think.

If you don't want to go through all the hassle of using ID and setting up accounts you could always find a local bitcoin ATM if there is one, try localbitcoins o even try a member here from this forum, how much do you need and how can you pay?

Good luck.

If you have tried and used Copay before could you please elaborate on the ID and process to link a bank account for the OP and other members here that may want to know.

OP specifically wants to know how to buy coins from Copay/Coinbase once he has signed up.

I dont live in the US and cant use it. The US bank account is needed when you want to link Copay with the Gildera service and the other option is to use Coinbase with Copay but i have to have US driver licence, US ID or US Passport. So its a no go for me. There are no bitcoin ATM near me and i dont like meeting up witt ppl to trade with cash. I like to buy bitcoins online using my Visa card.

Ill have a look at Mycelium and Coinjar and see how it works out for me.

So i installed Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet from the Google Play Store. Option 1 is to buy Bitcoins using Glidera with a bank account in US or Canada. So not really an option. Option 2 is doing local trades with ppl nearby. I dont really fancy that either.

Then i tried CoinJar.com. It saids i need to get verified to buy and sell Bitcoins it then proceeds and saids that it is not available in my country.
The Link bank account option that someone mentioned is only to withdraw you bitcoins funds to you bank account.

Hello, where do you live? or if you want you could just search internet for btc wallet available in your country and try them up. One more suggestion is to use any wallet suggested and try to buy in exchange if you dont wanna meet people, that way you could buy at the lowest price without wallets fee for buying btc.

Oh. I don't use coinbase personally sorry. I suggest buying from people instead since sometimes it's cheaper. Beware of scammers, though.
