Suspect a few have done the same . I have , more than onceI had the scooter out today so went to get one, turned up at the checkout, no passport, no SIMI'll try again when we come back into France, Luxembourg tomorrow.
Did they not accept your UK photocard driving licence or did you not offer it? I've never taken my passport, because they need to record the address, which doesn't appear in a UK passport.I had the scooter out today so went to get one, turned up at the checkout, no passport, no SIM
Don't they normally require passport as well ? Always have licence on me anyway . Buying sims in other places/countries certainly requires passport
I've never required my passport; they've always been more than happy with the photocard licence which is issued by an official body and contains all the required info.
Is that for reglo or Sims in general?
I've only ever purchased Réglo Mobile SIMs in France and have always used my photocard licence. I also use it as proof of ID when paying by cheque in French supermarkets generally. Passport only ever produced at border control.
Ok . In my experience you normally have to produce your passport when buying a sim. Obviously not with Reglo .
In my experience, the request is normally for a "pièce d'identité" rather than anything more specific, occasionally perhaps a "carte d'identité".
Probably your best bet. Use Google Maps on your phone and when it's found your location, type in Leclerc and see what comes up. They tend to be on the outskirts of large towns; go through on the wrong road and you'll miss them. Just make sure that it is a Leclerc supermarket that you've found; There's an Epicerie Leclerc not far from where I am at the moment, and that's just a small privately owned grocery store.
