This is not true. I provided them with my social, which is another form of id here, my expired passport, my drivers license, they just want me to provide an ACTIVE [passport. Thats the only thing they are accepting.
I don't get it. Why aren't you trying to renew/reissue your passport? It would help solve this mess and could help with other matters too which is why multiple birds would be taken down with a single stone.
It usually takes around a month or something to acquire a new passport in most countries. Can you clarify?
Was thinking the same. I mean sure, many countries recognise a drivers license as a valid ID but for example you can't even travel with this form of ID. Not even within the EU you could get on a flight with just a drivers license.
But well, it's his own decision I guess. Just he can't complain about sites not accepting it. In the past I have seen sites where they accept a drivers license as a KYC document but there are also plenty that just take a national ID and/or passport, that's just how it is.
