[+4REP] Proof of ID when buying a game

[Lost_Addict]

passport, birth cetificate and if you have one a national insurrance card (im pretty sure that counts\)

[shizzle]

Yeah thanks +rep.

[mangle]

No, a birth certificate won't work.
It hasn't got a photo of you on it does it?
You could just have stole it from your dad.

And a photocopy often doesn't work.

[shizzle]

Oh ok, I'll ask them when I'm there, but I'll bring the original passport and say next time can I bring a photocopy so nothing happens to the real one.

[Cwmbran]

I can guarantee you can not use a photocopy, even if they have seen your passport already. They deal with thousands of customers a week they will forget your face pretty fast.
Passport is your best option.

[shizzle]

Thanks I'll check on that! +rep

LOL I thought the same thing!


How would that would? Mine broke at 12.. How is that proof you're 15 lol?

I doubt yours broke at 12, most peoples break at 14-18 Youngest person I've heard though is a boy from school, he's black and his voice broke when he was 13, but black people mostly have deep voices so that explains it.

Anyway just bring a passport, it has your picture and age to prove it's not someone else.

A National Insurance card is not proof of ID.

The only option I think you'd have is a passport.

[shizzle]

oh ok, don't matter now I got it.

[Suck]

I know you've already got it, but for future purposes you can get a half price Citizens card when filling out a form through GAME. Ask your local store if they've got the form for it as it's only a fiver and that was you won't have to carry your passport about.
