How to get the important documents needed to prove your identity
When you become a care experienced adult, you will need to prove your identity when you:
You might need to provide photo identification, such as a passport or driving licence, or other identity documents such as your birth certificate or National Insurance number.
You should have a copy of your birth certificate, as well as a renewed passport or a provisional driving licence when you become a care experienced adult. If you have lost your birth certificate, you can request a copy birth certificate.
If you need any help getting your important documents, please contact your personal advisor. If you need to apply for a passport for the first time and need financial support, talk to your personal advisor.
If you think this support could help you, speak to your Personal Adviser. They can explain what is available, check whether you are eligible and help you access the support you need.
