Valid proof of I.D?

Hey I was wondering if someone could help me out, so my boyfriends provisional d.l went out of date about two or three days ago & when we were going out Saturday night he took his passport. The bouncers at the club we go to aren't the nicest but we got to the club so late we weren't even I.D which is very unusual. Next day we noticed his passport is out of date too since like October.

My question is, we're supposed to be going out next weekend & the only form of valid I.D he has is his student card (photo, name, dob) but I know it wouldn't work on it's on own where he lives, our regular pub is fine but it's the club would be the problem. If he brought the passport, d.l and student I.D do you think that would work? I mean you could clearly see it's him & that he's desperate.

P.S yes, I know he should apply for a new passport and d.l but last time his d.l took over a month to get here so.

For the purpose of a nightclub, they only really want to see date of birth and see that pic matches the face. They'd never be so pedantic to notice or call you on the fact its out of date. Just use the passport.

Be grand. They're just looking at your DOB. They're not customs.

They won't give a toss about the passport

I'd chance it and you should get on fine. They generally just want to see date of birth.
Often they barely glance and the ID because if you regularly go their they'll remember you and they're just checking you out to see if your drunk!

Even an out of date passport still identifies and verifies the age of the holder, its just not valid for travel.

You should be ok but then there's no accounting for thick fooks on a door either.

Exactly, his passport is out of date, not his identity!

Bring a birth cert and a letter from your parish priest to be safe.

Get them to chop his arm off and count the rings.

Okay, it's out of date but please don't be carrying around things like passports on a night out, they're designed for travel not for getting pissed on three pints of fosters, losing the bloody thing and it ending up God knows where.

Keep the DL in date, or better still sit the bloody test, or get an age card.
