ID for teenagers

Recommended Posts

My DD is nearly 16 but rather small for her age. She is getting asked for ID rather too regularly for her liking at the moment so I think that it is time that she got some sort of ID to carry. Is there any free or cheap way of getting an acceptable ID card other than the Citizencard which costs £15?

Could she take her passport out with her? Just seen, no :lol:

 

Only ones I can think of are the PASS ones - theres regional and national cards if you click through at the top.

 

Know the kids at school used to get bus passes on to prove they were under 16 which had their DOB on but I guess she wants the opposite!

You can get a driving licence at 16, because you can drive a moped then.

 

:o of course, I will look into it thanks.

 

Have checked and I think she would have to pass the moped theory test - if it was a license that she could keep ready for when she starts driving I would consider it but is doesn't appear to be as simple as that - thanks though :)

How about a student card? They are between 9 - 11quid but get her discounts in various places too...

Hmm, she can't get a student card until she is in 6th form I don't think and doesn't have a bus pass that has her date of birth on. I don't want her to carry her passport (with the awful photo) in case it gets lost or stolen. I think I will have to stop being such a Scrooge and fork out £15. Thanks :D

Just to say that if she needs to use it for buses,cinema & do forth,it will have to have the PASS logo on it & be legit,not home made.

Home made ID defets its purpose really.

 

Working on a checkout,we only accept Passports,Driving licence or PASS cards,& I know that this is the same almost everywhere.

Student ids are not acceptable as they are easily forged.
