As mentioned, for the future it is worth getting a provisional license.

I got mine when I turned 17 and was able to use it to get in straight away. I'm almost 19 now and still haven't started to learn to drive (actually want a motorbike but nevermind) but I always have it with me for buying stuff you need ID for. It is worth the £40ish quid just for the peace of mind.

Anyway, enjoy yourself.

You were able to use it straight away... at 17?

Yes.

At the bars and pubs my friends and I go, if they actually asked (which on the whole they didn't) if you showed it too them, they either a) accept you must be 18 to risk showing it them and serve you; b) "check it" and serve you.

I would never have thought of doing it but all my friends were and it worked everytime.

Not that I would recommend underage drinking of course lol.

Have I missed something or do these not have photos on them? :confused:

so if you don't drive or plan on driving (and so don't have a provisional) you pretty much have to take your passport as ID?

Unfortunately. It means for people like me, who aren't allowed to drive for medical reasons, we have to spend £72 just to get decent ID. :mad:

Nearly all venues current passport or provisional/full drivers licence.

Its down to the door staff to choice what they wish to accept. Due to the number of people having fake NUS cards, student ID's and the ease of getting a PASS sponsored card whilst being still underage they're not accepted. Also means that any fake/tampered/altered passports or drivers licence is an automatic complete criminal offence.

Having worked for an organisation issuing PASS hologram cards, I can assure you that most clubs will laugh you in the face if you try to use one as ID.

Stick with the only two official government ones - Passport / Driving license.

To be fair, if you get turned away from "Sound", it's hardly a negative development in your night.

It's only illegal if you are trying to leave the country not to go in a bar! I use my old one all the time and some places do look at it a bit longer but they are fine :smile:
