Get one of them?

Getting through life without any form of ID must be exceedingly tricky, a provisional driving license costs £30 iirc, wouldnt be a bad investment.

This comes up a lot on the various Vinted groups , unfortunately there is no way round it. The usual advice is to apply for a provisional driving license and use that, as it's the cheaper option.

If there's a reason you're unable to get a provisional licence (e.g. medical condition barring you from driving) there is an ID card that is accepted as proof for voting which might be of use, and cheap enough.  I don't know what it is exactly, it was my brother who mentioned it for himself, but something worth looking into if a provisional licence isn't an option for any reason.

Do you mean a Voter Authority Certificate?

Apply for photo ID to vote (called a ‘Voter Authority Certificate’) - GOV.UK

No guarantee or indeed requirement for anyone else (including Vinted, who likely wont given comments above) other than the staff in polling stations to accept these as ID. Its also a sheet of paper, and not a card.

Some have tried that with Vinted, and also a Citizens’ card but neither were accepted.

I don't know, and I did only say 'might be of use' whatever it wad - but useful to know if anyone does look into ID options that the voter authority thing isn't an ID card.
