Proof of Identification for the Age Card....

Talib Fiasco

So I'm gonna be going in to the guards with the ol Age Card form there later on and I know it says you need two forms of ID. Have the birth cert but I'm a little stuck for another. Don't have a passport or drivers license of any sort unfortunately. I do have a work ID though which has my name and picture but not date of birth...you think that'd do them? And eventhough the work id looks fairly tacky (picture is half f*cked up) it is legit like and it has strict rules and regulations on the back with and has a scanning line/bar too so do you think/know would that do?

Cheers

Haha I had one there but it expired a few years ago. Went and sent off for a new one and after like 4 months I got a letter back paying there was a fault with my application (never told me what it was of course), sent back the money in a form of some card yoke, and never gave back the old one. Never needed the passport since so I haven't gotten around to renewing it. Tbh with that sh*t service I dunno is it worth the hassle...

if you had a passport you could move to a country with more efficient passport offering services

You should probably call up the passport office and sort that out quickly.

I suppose I should but this happened in 2010 like haha. But yeah after I got the letter back saying there was a problem I rang them up and said whats the story and why was it rejected. Ya wan on the phone who tbh was a complete b###h just said I'm sorry sir but I can't disclose that information with you. I then got a little cross and said something along the lines of: Come here that info concerns me and ye have my old passport and thats not right...but in a little less mannered way of course! She just said that they could hold onto my old one as long as they wanted and I said how could I get it back so. She said apply all over again and I just hung up. Knowing that back then it'd take another few months I said screw it I'll do without it a while...but honestly eventhough i'll need it probably next summer I'm completely put off renewing/applying for a new one. Plus I'm pretty sure after two years they've thrown away my old one seeing that it wasn't 'claimed' and thats utter bull too..anyway thats Ireland for ya!!!

Na birth cert doesn't have photo...imagine having a baby picture as ID like!!! Yeah I was thinking bringing a CAO letter or something. The father will probably go in with me too so I should be allright then hopefully

Do you have a bank account? Maybe you can get a bank statement sent to you: proof of address.

Diabhal Beag

Can never understand why people don't get passports. Seriously.

Talib Fiasco

Yes I have a bank statement, just found one there dated to a few months back..got the address on it. Oh and I found a Cao letter too...got my name, address and date of birth. That'll look fairly tidy. But yeah thank you very much. At least you're trying to help me anyway I appreciate it!

Okay. Bring those with you and your work ID and you should be set. Bring a few passport photos too, on the day.

Thanks will do a few? On the form it has a pocket thing and it says just put one in there. But actually yeah it would be handy to have a few others on me anyway just in case someone up there really has it in for me...

Well basically they are just people who haven't had a reason to leave the country.

You're welcome

Talib Fiasco

Yup just did the leaving a few weeks back could have went on a LC holiday but my closest friends said we should save money and just go up the country in July :P A load from my year are setting off today though. I'd have passport sorted if I was going but yeah like (above) said I just have no need for a passport a while.

But you never know when you might need to leave the country. You could win an all expenses paid holiday leaving tomorrow, and then where would you be?
Ireland, that's where.

Never gonna happen to me haha...believe me my luck regarding them things is shocking but if it did I'd just give it to my mom or something, god knows she'd probably need/deserve it more than me.

No name changes allowed. Sorry.

Talib Fiasco

Well screw it so tbh if it happened. Besides an 18 yr old on his own on a foreign holiday doesn't sound great. I know I could meet loads of people my age there but actually going over knowing no one isn't a proper holiday for me. It'd actually be more scary than fun.

Ok but if your mum wins a family holiday and can't go because her lil 18 can't come and is too scared to stay home alone. You'll be sorry, uh huh.

Perhaps you can babysit? Make a man out of him in the process. wink wink wink oo er.

Talib Fiasco

You're really making this hard for me aren't you? :P But to twist it just a little more, I've been staying home alone since I was 11. Last year I spent a week on my own because my parents were visiting my brother in Dublin. But yeah I get your point. Era I'll sort it out before college or something.

If ye have any bother just whip out the tackle and slap it on the counter. If he won't give you your ID threaten to beat him about the face and body with it.

If you're not 18 yet get it sorted ASAP.
A passport for an under 18 costs 26.50 but over 18 is 80 euro. Big difference.

Well considering this thread initially was about the Garda Age Card which I need to be 18 for so...but yeah I'm 18.

As for that, yes fair point now that you mention it eventhough the 'child' one is for 5 years. So thats €53 for a 10 year stint. But honestly you're only gonna get use out that for only 5 years so you're gonna end up paying €106.50 in ten years if you're 17 compared to a plain 80 you know?

Your work ID and birth cert are all you need. It doesnt specify that the second item of identity has your date of birth on it, the birth cert does that. The ID just verifies what the birth cert says.

Yup as I mentioned a little above that I went in with them and worked grand but thank you anyway

Actually a message to the mod's. Ye can lock this thread if ye wish as it's pretty useless now and will only 'bump' up an unnecessary thread. For anyone who might read upon this in the future, the work id worked perfect for me as the 2nd form of ID and it had just my name and picture on it!! Anyway ye can lock this if ye want. No pressure or hassle

Well if it's all expenses paid they could just take the ferry to mainland Europe and drive.

If he had a driving license then he wouldn't be worrying about ID

Talib Fiasco

Well actually most places don't accept driving licenses for ID anymore because they are so easy to forge. Believe me, I know. Most rural pubs will accept them because they couldn't really care but very few places in the town/city wont accept it unless it's used as back up to prove another form of ID is legitimate....

They are accepted by the gardai for the age card, you would hope that they at least could spot a fake :eek:

To be fair, i wouldn't dig on him too much for not having a passport.

Venturing outside corkonia is a pretty major step.
