BuffyFreak09 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Okay so i'm waiting on my provisional licence to get here but it seems its gonna take 3 weeks to arrive meaning it may not arrive by the time the convention is here. I don't have a passport. I was basically just wondering what kinds of ID they would take at the con? Anything with the PASS hologram?

Queen_Sindel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Anything with a picture is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffyFreak09 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 yeah with a pic as well obviously hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Sorry, I'm not from the UK, so I don't know about that hologramm business. As long as the ID has a picture the hologram hasn't been a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple_Vamp Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 At Bad Wolf, I forgot both passport and driving license and was asked if I had something like a bank card with my name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackviolett Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Weve never been asked for id at an event in ten years so I wouldnt worry too much. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 24, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2010 If you haven't been asked then you've been very lucky - however I would suggest definitely taking something just in case, even if it's just the card you paid with or a bank statement with the purchase on it. Better to be safe than turn up without anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffyFreak09 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 okay so my bank card... i think i might still have the bank statement... what about the confirmation email with my bank details too? hopefully though my drivers licence will arrive but by the sounds of it it might get here a week to late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmer Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Oddly enough I've never been asked for ID at any of the cons I've been to and that's a fair few. Not that I'd need to worry as I always have my bank card and provisional license on my anyhow. But strange though, obviously I must have an honest looking face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 okay so my bank card... i think i might still have the bank statement... what about the confirmation email with my bank details too? You'll need the confirmation in any case, plus an ID of some sort. The confirmation e-mail doesn't replace an IDm even if it has bank details.

Queen_Sindel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Bank card or bank statement plus confirmation e-mail then. Utitily bill if needed, anything that can prove you're you. If you have nothing with a picture that's fine, bring one without picture. You sounded like you were asking if bringing only the e-mail is alright, and that wouldn't be enough.

Blackviolett Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I always have ID on me, several things in fact but like I say Ive never been asked at any event/con etc. Thats a bit more than lucky I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Me too Jason, Im 34 on 5th August and I still get asked for ID in CoOp for alcohol as they think Im under 25. Its not even flattering, its just plain embarrassing. The man in Tesco made a joke that the till was asking him to check ID the other day so I joked back by giving him my ID and saying, how silly, Im nearly 34 !! He was a tad red faced !

I occasionally still get asked for ID in pubs, I'm 38, when I tell them I've been legally able to drink for 20 years they get red faced too, but hey I love it. I was once told that they have to ask if you look under 25, and yes I'll take that too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 31 and get IDd for buying alcohol all the time. I think it's hysterical. I jump up and down like a small child and ask them to guess how old I am.
