LV Travel Insurance Renewal - Premium Reduced!

[marchie]

apart from the media playing it up they have only enforced a rule that has always been there ie if you wish to be treated as a british citizen you must have a current uk passport , people let them lapse thinking they can renew them at any time not as easy as that

Don't think that's true, Ken, otherwise we would have national ID Cards. Similarly, for 'acceptable ID' purposes, one can produce a Passport and/or a UK Driving Licence, and if you have neither, the fun really starts with bodies such as HMRC who want 3 answers to questions specific to your credit history [but none relating to any savings or investments, so if one has oodles of savings accounts/cash/Bonds et al, but no current account, one is truly stuffed]. You only need a Driving Licence to drive a vehicle; you only need a Passport if you wish to travel to/from UK; the ID criteria are ancillary
