geckoqueen Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I don't think many places would accept a birth certificate to be honest - its not a recognised photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They accept them at Napoleans Casino, so other places I'd of thought would too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Most places will only accept a valid photo driving license, photo passport, or a prove-it card. The law states (I think) that those are the only 3 forms of ID that will stand up in a court of law. If somebody shows you a student card, and it is later proved that they are underage, the person who served them is still at fault. I could be wrong on that though, so don't hold me to it! If you don't drive, it doesn't mean you can't have a driving license, you can apply for a provisional driving licence and that probably works out cheaper than a prove-it card.

Andy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 It'll all be ok when we get our national ID cards. Until then, I'd get a provisional licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongman Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The reason sheffield college cards and some NUS are not accepted is because you can get them when your're 16 and lie to get the wrong date of birth on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGobby Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 i turned 18 this June and so on my birthday i took my passport and my provisional licence - i showed my licence and that was fine, they wont accept NUS cards, never have, only time you can use them is if there is "student nights" but then again you would still have to take another form of ID to prove your age - i would suggest him getting a provisional licence - even if he isnt wanting to drive, its always good to have one - i got mine jsut before my birthday as i didnt want to take my passport everytime i went out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGobby Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 just warning - alot of places dont accept those citizen cards - only driving/provisional licence's and passports - as you can fake id cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If like me you lost you birth cirtificate and can't get a drivers licence or a passport your really buggered. you can apply for a duplicate birth certificate, but you will have to pay for it. i dont know how you go about getting one though- luckily, ive managed to keep mine in a safe place. lost 2 passports though! lol sophie x ps. i work in a pub and ive worked in offys- the only id i ever accept is a driving licence photocard or a passport. there is no legal obligation to accept a citizen/prove-it card and im just not prepared to take the risk- there are fake of those in existence.
