ID help.

Emmabob. · 10-05-2015, 10:12 AM

I need ID before like the 17th or so of June.. I won't be able to get the ball rolling until the 29th (yay. life).. anyone know which is more likely to arrive faster, a provisional licence, or a citizen card?

I know its said that citizen cards work in London, but does anyone have any experience with them?

I would say the citizen card but sometimes DVLA can post stuff out rather quickly! When my wallet was stolen last year and I had to buy another license it arrived in a week when they told me it would take three.

Do you not have a passport you could use? :(

Passports are being done VERY quickly right now. It only took a week for my mum to get hers through the post office system, and mine took 2 weeks not using the post office.

passports - even if its your first adult passport?

sherlock holmes · 10-05-2015, 04:07 PM

Ohh that was for renewals. I think your first will take a little longer, sorry.

Just flash your boobies at the bouncers.

haha, everyone says london is stricter on ID, figure padding in bra & low cut tops wont work there ;P

Citizen cards are iffy at best, but then I'm not in London. Most places I know of, and have worked in, will only accept a passport or a (full) driving licence, no provisionals and no ID cards, even if the government do tout them.

Provisional driving licence has always worked for me

Field Of Paper Flowers · 10-05-2015, 08:48 PM

I don't know if clubs here in Birmingham accept citizen cards. Always passport or provisional or full drivers license.

random.swirls · 10-05-2015, 08:50 PM

Citizen card I would say is iffy so I'd go for a drivers license.

Where are you going?

citizen card is totally legit and saves you walking around with a passport if you cant get a drivers license' some places may try to refuse them but you can report them for that.

Establishments are only "advised" to accept them. As far as I am aware there is nothing in law to say they have to accept an endorsed ID with the PASS logo. A lot of places I know won't even accept a provisional driving licence.

I'm not sure yet. haha, think hotel we're booking is a few miles out of the smack middle of london. just wanting some form of "quick" ID for bars & whatnot

Just to warn you, I work at a bar and we only accept driving license or passport as proof of ID. Sorry I can't help anymore but noticed that someone mentioned a citizen card, which are ok in some places but not in others.
