I have used a provisional licence for 12 years with different banks and other places as formal photo ID without ever having any problems.Anything I say in no way constitutes financial advice and anything you do is your own decision.0

I would expect a provisional licence to be OK but as others have said, only the specific solicitor can say for sure.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0

Just to finish this off, I contacted the solicitor and my brother is able to use his provisional licence, which is an incredible relief!!! Hopefully this might help someone else in the same situation. Thanks for the help and advice

It will only help them if they use the same solicitor. Otherwise, like you, they'll have to ask.wantahouse wrote: »Just to finish this off, I contacted the solicitor and my brother is able to use his provisional licence, which is an incredible relief!!!

Why does the solicitor need to trace the source of a gift? Is it something to do with money laundering?
Suppose the gift had been given a month or two ago. Would you still need to provide ID for the donor?0 -

Yes, they need to check that the money has actually come from your brother/gran etc, and not just been put in their account by the local drug dealer.Suppose the gift had been given a month or two ago. Would you still need to provide ID for the donor?
Generally yes. Checks vary but the solicitors will draw the line somewhere, usually they'll be checking at least three months back.0
