Big problem for freshers - no ID!!
Hi,
My passport is expired and I have sent it to them today to have it renewed. They said it will take about 4 weeks. My freshers will be from 20th and will be one week.
Because my passport has expired I cannot apply for a provisional license and citizencards are not really accepted in London clubs.
Btw I am going to be studying at UCL. If I buy tickets for events before hand and take my Student ID will that not be enough. This will be at big venues in London.

Sometimes they accept expired passports as ID, but you've already sent yours off...You could be surprised by how early they send your new passport. Last year they sent mine within two weeks of applying. If nothing else works you could perhaps try borrowing an older sibling's ID? Best of luck & hope you enjoy freshers

Okay I will try doing that! Do they accept expired passports a lot?

Yeah well I work in a pub and we're allowed to accept them. All we check for is the DOB, hologram and photo. I suppose the photo would be your main problem because if your passport has expired it might not look like you anymore.
I reckon general pubs/bars/clubs without the verification machines will be ok with it
You're really just going to have to hope the passport comes back in time.
The expired passport may not have been accepted anyway - when I was a barmaid I remember someone trying to hand over a passport with a picture of a toddler on it. All you could tell was that it was the same sex and ethnicity to the person in front of me. He didn't get served.

I'd be surprised if a club bouncer would notice that it was expired, they tend to just check photo then DOB.

Not to be Mr.un-fun here, but nevermind freshers - how are you going to enrol?? If the PI won't take an expired passport, you think UCL will?

If it doesn't come in time there's not much you can do. You might as well just give the expired passport a go I work at Tesco and very rarely check if its expired
I also didn't need/have a passport when I apllied for my provisional license.
