Citizenship test question
Hi
I sit my citizenship test soon, and it states that you have to bring your passport and driving license and full birth certtificate. Obviously i have all this, but it also states at least another document with a photo,full address and signiture. I dont have one and cant think of any other "common" document that would.Can any one advise or help please?

Re: Citizenship test question
Ambiguously, the doco says "up to two forms of photo ID". Thanks for making it easy

We didn't have to do the test but I took passport, birth cert and driving licence to our interview, Mrs M took passport, birth cert and UK driving licence and they didn't ask for more. I'm not sure what other forms of photo ID you might reasonably be expected to hold.
You should bring with you original or certified copies of the following documents:
- full birth certificate, and
- your current passport or travel document, and
- up to two other forms of identification which has your photograph, signature and current residential address (such as your drivers licence)."

Re: Citizenship test question
Gonna be fun for me - I have no driving licence. Only photo ID I have is my current, and my previous passport, and my ID card for work. Lets see them get round that one.
Can they refuse citizneship on the grounds that you can't drive?

Re: Citizenship test question
You're not wrong there! I can't even learn to drive now because of my eyesight, but every time I go out as a passenger it makes me wonder whether most of the drivers have eyesight which is actually any better than mine!If I do have to go for citizenship next month I shall be interested to say whet they say about the photo ID........

Re: Citizenship test question
If you don't have a driving licence and cannot get another equivalent form of ID, then just bring whatever alternatives you have (employer card, Medicare card etc) and explain.
No, they cannot refuse citizenship for this reason.
