regrading the post PB made about getting a photo ID quite easily, i looked up the citizen card that was reference, and it seems unless you already have photo ID they need a doctor etc to validate who you are... and because of Covid you can't get to see a doctor or get anyone to do that. So how would someone get one?
This isn't me moaning, this is me asking genuine questions to anyone who knows how to get official photo Id within the next month, when i can't drive so no license, and to get a passport would mean travelling to liverpool as it would be my first one and i looked it up and you have to.. Not even sure you can during Covid. So help guys, what can i get. How can i prove i'm me with a photo ID... :(
Requirements for your first UK ID card
Never had a CitizenCard photo ID before? Applicant's identity & appearance needs to be verified. If you don't have a valid photo ID, you need a referee - learn who can act as one for your UK ID card and check other requirements.www.citizencard.com
Not sure now (under COVID-19) but if you have't had a passport you need an interview, but these were in your local big town, they ask you questions to verify it is you. You don't need a GP to sign them it is any 'profession', even low grade civil servants and local gov officers can do it.
It is cheaper just to get a provisional license, but they are almost impossible to get without a passport.
The assumption that it is easy to get photo ID is incorrect, if you don't have a passport as a child you need to go through a few hoops now.
