Mr Ixer There is a scheme for gaining photo id if you do not have a passport, driving licence etc 'PASS (the Proof of Age Standards Scheme) is a government-backed scheme in the UK that gives citizens a valid and accepted form of proof of age identification. The scheme is supported by the Home Office, the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) and the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC). It acts as an umbrella system: it does not itself issue identification cards, but various proof of age card schemes operate under the PASS umbrella, and issue cards which bear a PASS hologram as proof of authenticity and validity.It costs £15 for a standard application, which typically takes no more than 3 weeks.Requirements for application:A recent photo of yourself (similar quality to a passport photograph, taken against a plain white background).A referee who can vouch for you (someone in a recognized profession who isn’t related to you, such as a teacher, doctor, or solicitor).The CitizenCard, bearing the PASS hologram, is another widely recognized ID card in the UK.It costs £18 for a standard application, and the card is typically posted within 21 days via Royal Mail 2nd class.The CitizenCard serves as everyday ID and proof of age.Remember, both the Post Office PASS card and CitizenCard are valid and accepted forms of proof of age across the UK'.So should id be required to vote to avoid fraud, and it is a sign of the times that it might, there is no validity to the claim it would prevent racial or 'class' minorities from voting providing they are keen enough to do so and are willing to put in the effort to gain the means.
