Proof of ID

whitesatin

My husband is due to get his state pension next year.  He’s keen to get a prediction of what he’s likely to get but when he’s tried online they seem to want photo ID.  He doesn’t have a passport or driving license. Is there something else he could offer as ID?

According to this
Personal tax account: sign in or set up - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

He needs two of the following

• a valid UK passport
• a UK photocard driving licence issued by the DVLA (or DVA in Northern Ireland)
• a payslip from the last 3 months or a P60 from your employer for the last tax year
• details of a tax credit claim if you made one
• details from a Self Assessment tax return if you made one
• information held on your credit record if you have one (such as loans, credit cards or mortgages)

Failing that, his other option would be to brave the phone line to the Future Pension Centre and ask them for details of his forecast

Hi,

there are other ways, try this PROCEDURE.

Have a read through first and have any needed information to hand and possible passwords you might want to use.

This is a side issue I guess, but I think that unless something changes, he will need to get a photo ID if he wants to vote in the next elections (ridiculously but there you go).

You can get a Voter Authority Certificate for that (https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate) but it isn't any use apart from elections apparently.

Other ways to apply

Applying online is the quickest way to get a forecast. If you’ll reach your State Pension age in more than 30 days you can also:

• fill in the BR19 application form and send it by post
• call the Future Pension Centre who will post the forecast to you

Thanks for your replies.  I’ll pass those on to him.

I think it may be easier to apply for a passport. One off cost for id that lasts 10 years
