I left just before 60, id card arrived in the mail shortly afterwards, days before 60th birthday if I recall correctly. I had tried to get it issued prior to departure on basis of proximity to 60, but it became something of a battle requiring authority from way up high. They do issue a Service Letter prior to leaving which confirms you were employed, length of service and position - Dargal and Vacations to Go will accept that letter for discount cruises, resorts etc
