PV is spot on, a new DL will conform to the Euro model. I'm still carrying one of the old green licenses, on the few occasions I've had to produce it the French authorities have looked at it with some suspicion. Because of my status I can't swap it for a French one and I can't have a new UK version because I no longer have a UK address. Frankly I am all for a European wide ID which would be accepted as valid ID for travel within all EU countries. |
national id cards
The UK and ROI do NOT have National ID cards - more's the pity.
Of course some would see it as an invasion on their privacy/human rights! Do those people within the Schengen countries feel it is an invasion on their privacy/human rights? I doubt it. I wish the Uk and Irish governments would introduce National ID cards. This would resolve for all EU citizens the necessity of carrying a Passport EU for flights to/from UK/IRL and the rest of the EU. |
I wish the Uk and Irish governments would introduce National ID cards Some people object to ID cards on the grounds of data protection though you can rest assured that the govt. already has all your details (passport agency, DVLA,DVLC, National Insurance, Inland Revenue etc etc) and I'm sure it's shared via different agencies. On the continent you have a legal responsibility to carry an ID card and if you're driving a car you have to carry a whole load of other documentation whereas in the UK you don't have to carry anything, even when driving. Changing peoples habits is going to be very difficult.... |
