    Not something she would be able to get anymore. EU citizens who apply for Settled Status are not given any physical confirmation, they can only confirm their status digitally.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    When I had a provisional licence I was told on numerous occasions that it had to be a full licence to be used as ID. Never understood why because it was a photocard licence and had all the details of the full one on it.

    It depends what you want to do with it.

    I remember hearing something about the government not conducting all the checks until it is converted to a full license as well as the provisional licenses not being on the same database but I do not know for sure.
