UK A+ Test ID Requirements

Hi

Just working through the All In One 5th edition A+ at the moment, and the
time to think about taking my test is looming!
I have one problem, however, which is that I've read a couple of messages
here indicating you need a photograph carrying ID of some sort? I don't
have a passport or driving liscence, but I think I may be able to manage
some form of photo ID if it is necessary.
So, can anyone who has taken their test in the UK tell me if it's standard
practice to ask for a piece of photo ID please?

Im in the same postion as you, have no actual picture id (apart from my old
old college id). im going to ask around as i should be taking my test soon.
maybe its test center dependent?

Why not ring up your local test centre and ask them?

Got the other half to do some telephone wrangling today and found out there
is a fairly easy to obtain form or photo ID!
It's called the Citizen Card , and according to the blurb on their website
it's accepted by airlines, retail and the government. I should imagine that
would be sufficient for them.
To obtain a card you need someone 'respectable' to confirm your D.O.B , like
your doctor or you could try a local bobby.
Their site is http://www.citizencard.com/ , hope this helps I believe
the card costs about £7.

Check this with the test centre you'll be using. You can find your local TC
on the VUE & Prometric websites.

Personally, I wouldn't *imagine* anything, I'd check the facts with the
actual person who'll be checking your ID.

You don't want to risk losing your cash, do you?

Aye, I will be double checking with them first.
If not that, I guess Im getting a new passport

I guess the Amish can forget about ever getting certified in anything.
