I don’t look ANYTHING like my ID photo??!?!

okay so im turning 18 next month and obviously plan to use my real ID (provisional driving licence) but I used my passport photo from when I was like 14 on it. on that photo i have literally blonde hair tied back, no makeup and obviously look like a child. now i have black hair, piercings and always wear my hair down with a fringe😭 and im always wearing a lot of makeup so now im scared i won’t get in anywhere.

will this actually be a problem???

How to replace the photo on your driving licence: https://www.gov.uk/renew-photo-driving-licence

Note that you'll need to use a paper form to use a new photo, otherwise they'll just use the photo from your passport again.

Get yourself a different ID Card.

https://postoffice.citizencard.com/what-is-a-post-office-pass-card
OR

Both meet the PASS standards and ought to be accepted by door staff/pubs
