Valid Photographic ID

Posts: 143 Forumite
I have a provisional Driving License. I don't have a car myself and never passed my full test but have it for usage as an ID.
I have a firm of Solicitors claiming that since it is only a Provisional License that it does not count as Valid ID.
Having spoken to the DVLA the gentleman there says strictly its not strictly considered as to be used as valid ID whether Full or Provisional but if they accept one they should accept another.
I don't have a passport and I'm not getting one until I have sorted a few other things since the costs are prohibitive to change it (change of name pending post divorce).
Anyone else had this hurdle and how have you got over it?:mad:

Unfortunately solicitors/companies/etc can specify what they consider to be valid ID and this is normally a full driving licence or passport. If they won't take a provisional licence then there's not much you can do.0
