I got my driving licence nearly 10 years ago, and despite the fact I’m 28 this year, I still get asked for ID all the time when I go out because I look pretty young. How do I get a little credit card stylee photo ID (I only have A4 paperwork at the moment), and how much will it cost?
Thank you!
If you have an old style driving licence, then you should be able to obtain a photo licence for free.
You should obtain a photo from one of the photo kiosks at your local supermarket, or send a recent photo (head and shoulders only). You will need to have the photo certified by somone who has known you for at lease 2 years. This could be your local Postmaster, Doctor, Dentist, Optician, anyone in authority or professional status. You can obtain a form to send off from your local Post Office or download a form from the DVLA website. The DVLA will then send you a photo licence and this will also be your ID for future use.
