Provisional license queary

[sazzylou]

Im finally gettnig off my bum and getting myself driving but i need to send off for my provisional first. I know i can use my passport as ID , but i have a slight problem....my passport is out of date! Only by about a week which is frigging annoying, i just didnt know.....so anyway, is it still valid as ID? Cos like, its still me and everything i cant really afford to buy a new license and a passport I read that they take birth cetificates too (if you have some other ID ) but i dont have that either!!


Grrrr, i just want to book me lesssonsssssssssssss!

i don't know but i doubt they'll take your passport. I would find the website for your local registry office and sort out getting a copy of your birth certificate (providing your birth was registered in England and you know which county you were born in.) that will be loads cheaper than renewing your passport

As monster_munch said, it would be cheaper to get a copy of your birth certificate than passport, as I had to do the same recently for my provisional, £13.50 is all it is for your birth certificate

ah, thanks a lot ladies! I think i'll do the birth certificate thing. If i had to renew my passport AND get a license it would be over 100 quid Im gonna struggle enough paying for the lessons ( OH made redundant, im a pauper, lol) I havent got a clue what happened to mine, but i'll get hold of the registry peeps and get a copy.

Thanks

Thank goodness for that...its 72 quid to renew your passport nowadays! Madness Glad i can get away with just my birth certificate... Ive rung my muim and told her to dig out the one that i KNOW she had, but im not holding out much hope tbh...she's probably lost it so think i'll have to get a new one

My full birth certificate was only 7 quid to replace. Not too bad. Youl love getting your provisonal back in the post - i was so excited bout mine coming!
