    Hey I was going to get a passport to go to england on the 22nd but saw I did not need a passport to go to Britain so I didn't bother. Decided to check up though and rang ryanair to see would a drivers licence do as ID for a flight...no answer for 25 minutes and my credit ran out. I hear now ryanair need a passport anyway, even though we don't need one to go there? Don't even know if I have time to get an emergency one now or if I even need one?

    Yes you need your passport - Driving licence not accepted : "Ryanair does NOT accept driver licences, residence cards, family books, seaman books, military ID cards etc. Expired or damaged forms of photo-id will not be accepted on any flight."

    See below, from their website. You need a passport.

    THE ONLY FORMS OF TRAVEL DOCUMENTS ACCEPTED ON RYANAIR FLIGHTS ARE:
    •A valid passport - ( see below - */and ** below)
    •A valid National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country. (Only the following EEA countries issue National Identity Cards acceptable for carriage on Ryanair flights: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland)
    •A valid German Government issued Kinderausweis travel document
    •A valid Italian Certificato Di Nascita which has been endorsed as "VALIDO PER L'ESPATRIO" valid for travel. It is the passenger's personal responsibility to ensure that this document meets the requirements of immigration and other governmental authorities at the destination airport - see ** below.
    •A valid Italian AT/BT card (Italian domestic flights only)
    •A valid UN Refugee Convention Travel Document - (issued in accordance with Article 28(1) of the 1951 UN Convention, by a Government in place of a valid passport.)
    •A valid Convention Travel Document - (issued in accordance with Article 27 of the 1954 UN Convention for Stateless Persons, by a contracting state in place of a valid passport)
    •A valid EU Collective Passport (issued to approved EU school groups who are under 18)
    •A valid Collective Passport issued by an EU/EEA country

    Are driving licences accepted as a travel document on Ryanair flights?

    Ryanair also does NOT accept on any flight - driving licences, residence cards, family books, seaman books, military ID cards etc.

    Expired or damaged forms of photo-id will not be accepted on any flight.

    All flights and you'd probably get an emergency passport if you tried straight away!

    I doubt this instance would technically be classified as an emergency given that a passport wouldn't be needed with another carrier (EI) or for travel via ferry.
