Photocopied ID- any experience?

shane86

Passport needs renewal and therefore it will be floating around the passport office for a few days waitin to be sent back with my new one. Anyone ever get hassle using a photocopied colour print off of the ID at clubs/pubs in town? tbh I look at least my age, around half the time these days bouncers dont bother even asking for ID, but any experience with using a copy? Any bouncers reading care to offer whether they accept them?

Thanks.

they are usually pricks. especially in dublin the bouncers are usually jobsworths. they love following the regulations. for the sake of following the regulations

Depends what mood they are in power trip mode means they normally look for anythin not to let you in. Have you no drivers licence or anything?

bring out your mother/father and get them to vouch for you with the bouncers-simple really

Yes

When I was 17 (........). I scanned my passport, opened up MS paint, copy/paste the '6' to '5', printed it out in black & white. Bang! Im 18

When I was asked for ID id say "Oh, I have a photocopy of my Passport if thats ok?"

Off license accepted it, as well as shops for cigs. But I only got into 1 pub with it, out of 3

Ive witnessed this!

Outside the cellar one night with a couple friends having a ciggy. Out of the corner of my eye I see a young lad go to enter the pub, bouncer stops him and asks for ID. The guy obviously didn't have anything and walked off, but he stopped at the corner and gets on his phone. 3 minutes later a car pulls up and a middle aged women gets out and walks up to the bouncer, the guy slowly approachs.
We are making our way back inside and I hear "Why won't you let him in!? He's 18 (bla bla bla)"
We pissed ourselves laughing. The poor bugger looked embarrassed as hell. Don't think he got in either

My younger brother scanned his ID and edited few things in photoshop, then he printed it and glue into the real ID to make visual thickness of it, real professional work and no difference at all.

He used it few times to buy beer and cigs, I told him that it's not a good idea but he wasn't listening. :rolleyes:

You'll have to bring it to a Cop shop and get a certified copy. Otherwise it's worthless. Only takes two mins in the station, they just photocopy it and sign page.

Sorry, i wouldn't accept it. If, note it's a BIG if, the club/pub is checked by the Gardai for people with ID then i'd get in the **** for having let you in.

Then again, it depends on how young you look. What are the chances of you being asked for ID?

Anyways, if it was me, and i asked you for ID and you offered that i would have to tell you that you couldn't come in.

I'd explain it was for the above reason though.

Isnt the rule that everyone aged 18-21 must have to have ID on them, but not above?

Im 22.

As for the chances, I look anywhere between 17 and 26 Most people guess 22-24. Girl in shop asked me for ID yesterday, yet at a funeral a few months ago some oul one asked me if I was married

The suit must breathe elderlyness :pac:

It lunacy bringing out a passport at night. What if ya lost it and it was picked up by wrong person, All sorts of trouble down the road, identity fraud etc. The garda copy is a good alternative.
