Re: ID to prove you are over 18....no i don't think so. well i don't know anyone who got one.(Original post by 994504)
Don't you get an ID card when you turn 18?
I think the most accepted forms of ID is passport/driving lisense, couldn't you use these? -

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....i'm not driving, and haven't got any real intention to at the moment, but i've got a provisional just as proof of ID, the provisionals last for 10 years so might be worth getting for now.(Original post by qwerty3)

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....Nah you don't get an I.D. card, might change in a few years though. If you're talking about a nightclub I don't think a college I.D. card will cut it for them. I think you might have to reduce yourself to carrying your passport round with you.

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....Passport or drivers licence (full or provisional). Nothing else will really do. I've heard some places are refusing to take provisional licences but it's never happened to me so I don't know how true it is.

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....Doesn't Britain have like an official ID card or anything?
In Finland, if you want an ID that works everywhere, you just go to the police, pay them like 30€ and they'll mail you one within a week.
It's great. The official ID also works as a travel document, so you don't need a passport at all in EU countries.
I'm surprised Britain doesn't have one available. -

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....But did you get refused when you got told off?(Original post by Gemz87)
I've been told off for using an out of date passport because you obviously look a lot younger as the pic was probably taken a while ago if it's expired -

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....I thought the CitizenCard was like that in Britain, but I could be wrong. Edit: Except you still need a passport!(Original post by HJV)

Re: ID to prove you are over 18....Most Bars/Pubs/Nightclubs (atleast the ones where i have worked) will accept a valid Driving Licence, Passport or an ID card displaying the 'PASS' logo which are normally cheaper than driving licences or passports. So you have a choice of 3 really. You might get lucky at some places an be able to use student cards but thats a rarity

this happened a few days ago where i work. The pic of the guy was like 10 years old and so could have been anyone, a friend or a sibling. Also the fact he had a wallet full of cards but none with the same name as the passport was also a bit of a give away lolLast edited by Jacksonxvi; 20-09-2007 at 18:12.
