Just been summoned to the UK next week, and when I checked my passport discovered it runs out today I understand photo ID is acceptable, but what type? All I seem to have is a SafePass with my ugly mug on it. I can't afford not to go!

You'll get a Passport quick enough if it's an emergency.

Can you boat it over? I think they'll just need a drivers licence for Eire - UK? not 100% though

Thanks, but I assume that involves a trip to Dubland, which I can't do before I need to fly. I may try to get one issued quickly while I'm over there.

A possibility if all else fails, although I'm not sure my car is able for it

Just did that, thanks. They say the FAS SafePass card will do.Of course, whether the staff at check in will know that is a different story

Aer Lingus in the past allowed me to travel on an out of date passport but they weren't too happy with it in the UK. I did bring bank statement and a recent letter I had from revenue. AFAIK they do accept some work ID with a photo.

I'm a Limey - it's a British Embassy job, but thanks anyway guys

Maybe you have or could get one of the ID's listed above. Hope you work it out. Best of luck!

Mate of mine was turned away for just having driving licence this evening eventhough that's all he has used for dozens of trips.Back and forth at least twice a month.Costing him another 200 to get home on a flight tomorrow.

You can get a temp Passport from the embassy, met some British folks who had to do that in colombia as hers got stolen/lost.

This might be the obvious part, but if you have contacts in an embassy that you are applying for a job to.......

[corkdragon]

as Ted just posted, thats the list on aer lingus' website. so they should accept one of those. but all you need is a cranky worker who's on a power trip. hopefully it'll all work out for you.

Best of luck with the visit!

Well, got past check in and security without a second glance. Just the UK end to worry about now Should be ok. Again, thanks for the advice (and the well wishes). Later...
