    Lloyds Tsb accept provisional photo card licences - Nobody accepts the old paper one anymore.

    Natwest accept paper licences.

    Halifax do.
    Acceptable verification (customers aged 18+)

    Current UK photo card driving licence (full or provisional), or old paper form licence if still in date (full only)

  • It says full one - OP has a provisional licence.

    All about context.

    I didn't read that part of your sentence as referring to provisional licences. Looks like I should have done!

    Sorry!

    Actually my previous post stated Natwest dont accept Provisionals, they do if you're 21 or under I think it was. This is what they told me a couple years back. I don't see what the difference in age has got to do with anything to be honest!

    Barclays accept a Birth Certificate as id, even though it states on the bottom of the certificate in red text something along the lines of 'this is not proof of identity'

    Don't they ask you to prove ID when taking the test?

    Yes, and you supply this by showing them your provisional licence (both parts)!

    I must have been wrong then, I thought I'd read that because of the numbers of people posing as others to pass tests they required further identity of the individual actually presenting themselves for the practical test.
