Hi, Do I need a passport or will my driving license be ok?
Hi Caroline
If you are a British / Irish citizen, you do not need a valid passport. However, you will need to bring a form of identification with you. Acceptable forms of ID include:
– A valid passport.
– photographic driving license.
– International Student Card.
– government issued photo ID card.
– health insurance/social security photographic card.
– photographic bus/train pass.
– EU Citizen Identity Card will usually suffice.
We have a handy guide called “Passports and Identification” which has more information. I hope this helps.
