UK residents and anyone else who needs ID for verification should look at this website https://use-their-id.com/ . I strongly suggest not doing it because you can create parody drivers licenses featuring your favorite UK politicians.
- Absolutely yeah. We should never endorse using the likenesses of others or submitting fraudulent identification.
  It definitely would not be funny or help frustrate the privacy invasion that this is intended to be.
  Please, trust the masters. They know what's best for you.
- If this actually works, it’s amazing.
  It shows just how performative the ID checking systems are.
- Wait, you submit a photo?? Is there no electronic ID card in the UK?
  
  Can confirm we don't have an official identification card, let alone electronic ones.
  We use driving licences for that purpose. And kids in my area get child identification cards, but I'm not sure if that's a national thing or not. (The name of the card has the county in it, hence why I'm not sure).
  
  What if you're an adult without a driver's licence?
  
  I'm not sure if this is unique to the UK or not, but if you don't have a full licence, you can apply for a provisional; the pre-requisites being the following:
  be at least 15 years and 9 months old.
  be able to read a number plate from 20 metres away (which isn't checked or enforced until the driving test anyway).
  have been given permission to live in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) for at least 185 days.
  £34
  So most people have a licence in the UK, regardless of whether they can drive. Usually so we don't have to carry our passports to the pub when we turn 18. (Which also isn't unheard of here).
  
  I don't live in the UK, so i don't have the answer.
