If i recall correctly i think you just need the red card and proof of IDENTITY not proof of address, might be worth showing a credit card or passport -things without your address on it just incase a postie decides to be 'diligent'.....

yes but without a red card you should be provding proof of ID and address

My local sorting office is far from picky. I regularly get phone calls from my OH asking me to collect a parcel on the way home. Even if it's addressed to him they give me it without a red card.
Not that I'm complining as otherwise I'd have to either wait until the next day or drive all the way home just to go back again.

lucky you dont go to ours
we used to be lax until a regular (eg comes in every day) complained they were not ID'd for collecting from their PO box
now its ID for all

In ours you never show ID . Saying that the in the office is normally the PM who tried to deliver it earlier (we're a small community)

I think it's proof of address they need, not recipient's identity. I regularly pick up items for my wife and all they want to see is proof that I live at the address on the package, which my driving licence does nicely. I never have to show my wife's ID.
