Testing but need ID?

[Growuppeople]

I’ve booked a test but they saying I need ID, photo driving license or passport I don’t have either! Will they still do it?

I took DD today and they didn’t ask for ID. I was worried as well as DD is 3 - no passport yet and as for driving licence...

We've now had 3 tests and none have asked for ID.

I have not been asked for ID. However I do find it odd that you have no form of ID. Probably something to look into.

Took DS today and they didn't ask for ID at all

Lots of people don’t have a driving licence or passport. If you don’t drive and don’t go abroad why would you?

They ask for ID on booking but I’ve not had to produce ID at the test nobody I know who’s been tested has.

You need to have your QR code which they email you or alternatively they take your name and address.

Sorry the email said I needed I.D thank you everyone

Because there are lots of situations, as demonstrated by this thread, where you need ID.

I would suggest that for something that is a matter of wider public health, you cannot exclude a chunk of the population by insisting on paid for forms of ID signifying expensive travel.

As long as you have the qr code you don't need ID as that's the identification

@Comefromaway photo ID is important. A provisional driving licence is valid and you can apply for one even if you have no intention of ever learning to drive.

My 12 year old didn't have ID as the only one he has is a passport and it expired last year (didn't want to waste a year of the renewal due to Covid so decided to renew next year). We took his birth certificate but they didn't ask to see any ID in the end.

I took my dd today and they did not ask to see any ID.

Yes, this @comefromaway

When I took my son they didn't need ID, there was no request at all for ID, on emails or at the center.
When I booked myself a home test I had to agree to them running a check on me to see if I was who I said I was, this shows up on my credit file as a soft search.

My husband is not even allowed to apply for a provisional driving licence due to a medical condition.

Ok that's one situation though. Plenty of people do get licenses simply for ID purposes.

I had a drive through test this week and was asked to hold my phone up with the QR code showing against the window along with a form of photo ID, so they can and do ask in some cases.
