FAQs

Examples of acceptable photographic ID are:

• Photocard Driving Licence (an expired photocard does NOT invalidate the licence)
• A valid passport
• An expired passport
• Formal ID Cards (armed forces, police, student union, company ID card)
• Tachograph Card
• Local Authority/Taxi ID
• Blue Badge (parking for people with disabilities)
• Firearms Certificate/Shotgun Licence

Any identification produced that does NOT contain photo identity (eg utility bills, birth/marriage certificates) must not be accepted and the client will be referred back to the police.

Courses with On Road Elements

A photocard driving licence will be necessary (or paper licence with other photo ID – see list above) where the client is expected to undertake a on road element to a course and it is expected the police will ascertain the client held a valid driving licence at the time of the alleged offence.
