Have an old paper driving licence and have been asked to produce my passport for a speed awareness course. Why?
Find answers to your legal question.

Would any other form of identification do. Are they legally entitled to do this?
I intend to comply but will refuse to go along that path as often as possible.
I am glad to go on this to avoid points on my licence and agree that it will do me no harm to be pulled up sharp

Ok what happens if I do not have and never had had a passport?

You have to produce your passport with your old paper license because your old paper license as not got your photograph on and the people in charge at the speed awareness course have to make sure that it is you that is attending the course .

Sorry Scouse you have to produce your passport for just about anything these days. I have just put our house up for sale and had to produce it to the Estate Agent who photocopied it. When I started work in the prison service p/t 2 years ago it was photocopied then. Just go with the flow, it's the way it is these days.
