Age ID for 18 year old

My daughter is coming up to her 18th birthday and so now its time to apply for some ID so she can get into pubs etc.

Who is the best ID company to use and is there one you can do online rater than filling in paper forms and sening it through the post??

    Does your council offer an ID service?
    Mine does an e+ card that you can apply through the council offices, I've just done my 18yo ss x

    Why not just apply for her driving Liscence? Most places will only take passport/driving Liscence anyway.

    A lot of places around my area do not take provisional licenses either :(

  • When I did bar work we only accepted passport or full driving license as proof of age. Unfortunately the rest are just too easy to fake.

  • I had a connexions card with a hollogram that said it was supposed to be accepted as ID, but it wasn't actually accepted anywhere. Good job it had been free.
    I've not had any problems with using my provisional licence though, i've been using it 5 years now and i still get asked for ID all the time.
  • I second the driving license application. Most places ive ever been to (and thats a lot!) only accept passports and driving licenses.

    The driving licence option is more expensive though, yes she can learn to drive but thats not an option at the moment.

  • i didn't realise places didn't take provisional licences? how is it easier to fake than a real licence? i thought they were just different colours lol ???

    maybe that together with a photocopy of her passport? although i suppose places wouldn't except that?

    i don't remember it being this hard when i turned 18 and i'm only 22 lol,

    good luck!
