Okay so I have always been just carrying around my passport to get into clubs (stupid I know, I never applied for a provisional driving licence as I never really wanted to learn to drive!) but lost it on Wednesday, and have found out that it will take 15 days to get a provisional driving licence so basically 2 weeks without going out But do you think taking my Student ID (Name + Photo) and a Birth Certificate (Name + Date of Birth) might work in the short-term?? (Because obviously the Student ID doesn't have a DOB)

I suppose it would, but people might look at you a bit strangely for carrying your birth certificate around with you.
Either passport/Driving licence unless your a policeman with a warrant card or simimar etc... Provisionals can come in as little as a week, Depends how busy they are tbh.
Just don't go out for two weeks. It's not like your going to die or anything.
And no, bouncers will probably not accept it, there is no point making an exception for one person, because then everyone will start to bitch. Passport or driving licence.
Provisionals do not take 15 days to come through!!! Mine took about 3/4 days-just don't go out for 2 weeks then-it won't kill you...losing your birth certificate would also be more trouble than a night out is worth.
Yea my friend forgot her licence one evening we went out and all she had was her student ID card. She explained to the bouncer and he said yea, that's fine and let her in.
Have you not tried going back to where you lost your passport to see if it got handed in? Either that or the nearest police station.. It's worth a shot!!
To answer your question, the chances are it won't work. My provisional only took a few days to arrive though, not 2 weeks. Depends on how busy they are I guess though.
You could try using your ID and Birth certificate, and just tell them that you lost your passport and explain that your waiting for your provisional to come through.
The best I could recommend is just to wait for the new (accepted) ID to arrive, and just have an EPIC night out then. Sorry about your situation; good luck
