My son bought a lottery ticket as the first day after he was 16. He took his passport, but wasn't asked for it (he is nearly 6', mind). I think he just wanted to do something legally once he had turned 16! He hasn't bothered since (sensible lad!). He does have a bus pass 16-18 card, which was certified via his college. I guess that could be used if anyone asked.

Validate me seems pretty good, I've not been asked for ID for lottery tickets + things or drinks in some places.

 

I'm sure you can apply for your provisional driving licence a few months before you're 17, even though you can't use it to drive, I think you can use it to drive a moped/scooter as someone at school who's 16 has one, but that may be a scooter provisional :eh::think:

You can apply for a provisional licence 3 months before 17th birthday.

Ah ok, not sure how he does it then.

 

I googled it and found this, so he must have passed the CBT test early and done it that way :).

You can apply for your provisional licence from the age of 15 years 9 months which will allow you to drive a moped from the age of 16 provided you have passed your CBT (Compulsory Bike Training), and category B cars and agricultural tractor from the age of 17. Agricultural Tractors at 16 on the road subject to passing a tractor driving test.(size limits of tractor apply)

 

 

Might be an expensive and long winded way of getting ID though :lol:

Provisional license is a good one to use.

Citizen card.

School/college ID card?

Bus pass?

 

Both my college ID card and bus pass have my picture and DOB on so they're good to use. Citizen cards are good though as they are accepted in a lot of places. I've never been asked for ID .. Ever. Its bizarre.

In some places they will only accept it as ID if they have the pass logo. Driving licences are expensive too....

In a supermarket normally evidence of proof of age would have a photo, date of birth and be properly validated.

 

Eg. Passport, driving licence or a recognised proof of age card scheme bearing the PASS logo (such as CitizenCard, Validate or Portman).

 

Some supermarkets (like Waitrose) have application forms to hand out on request.
