In the US, getting a drivers license is not too difficult and you can also get a State issued ID card for more pieces of ID. But when she wants to use them in the UK, she gets looks like they were printed at home.
My wife does not drive here, as we do not want to take the chance that she runs afoul of some traffic laws and that could delay her citizenship application in two years, so she does not have a UK license.
Needless to say, we were very disappointed when we read this!
My wife will be a British Citizen with a UK Passport long before the ID scheme would be available to her.with around 90 percent of foreign nationals in Britain covered by the scheme by 2014/2015
Instead of angering those that are reluctant to get a card and angering those that want one but can not get one, maybe they would have a rollout catagory of those that want one now.
Does anyone have any suggestions for ID, other than carrying a Passport?
