Appropriate ID for long summer- help!

One of ds's friends is not 18 until end of August and needs appropriate ID for summer.
He's already been scammed twice, and feels like giving up.
His parents live overseas and don't really understand the issue e.g where they live no one ever asks for ID! I really need any advice or genuine pointers.

And who wants to take their passport on a day out?

People who need valid ID.

Irrelevant though, as they’re obviously not spending their summer in Germany.

We needed to carry our passports everywhere in Italy on holiday.

It's a question re appropriateness & being appropriate

What does this even mean?

Perhaps read Debretts

Oh my, do you lot sit behind your ipads poised?

Simple question. I have self-sourced my answer. Parents' approval ✅

And for all you know the long summer could be being spent in Germany where the legal age for drinking is 16, and DS's friend just looks young.

In which case his passport would be appropriate ID.

I'm actually concerned about your intelligence, or maybe I shouldn't be, as I just remembered that 50% of the population has anIQ in double digits.

Appropriate = Suitable for a particular situation

E.G appropriate footwear

I think you’re the one with IQ issues.

ID cannot be appropriate or inappropriate. Are you actually talking about an acceptable form of ID?

He doesn't have a male sibling.
Think I'll just ask my local shopkeeper to knock one up.

So you'll happily put bar staff, security staff and retailers at risk of their jobs then?

You're a charm, aren't you?!
