Alternative forms of Photo ID

WLM21

Firstly, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place ... I couldn't really find an appropriate spot.

A friend needs to produce a photo ID, but doesn't have on at present.

He is 20 and had a passport but it has expired. His options seem to be

• Apply and wait for a new passport ... expensive as he doesn't really need a passport at the moment
• Apply for and wait for a provisional drivers licence

Are there any other options please ?

thanks

If it's needed in support of Money Laundering Regulations detailed guidance on acceptable ID can be found at pages 40 - 43 of this HMRC document:

There are a few age proof card around, which are cheaper than a passport, BUT check with where he needs ID as to whether they're accepted before applying.

is the one mentioned on the Think 25 scheme (booze and cigs) as it bears the PASS Logo on various cards.
http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/for-young-people/ will give you options on local schemes, or cards you can apply for that have the pass hologram.
