    As far as i know, they say 6-8 weeks, so i guess you'll just have to hang in there. More than likely that is what they will tell you but then again, you won't lose anything if you give them a call.

    Finally, some movement. Tried the code just there and it said it's due for posting on the 28/7/10. Still a while away, but at least I know now for definate. Ill get it nearly 8 weeks after applying for it. What a joke.

    Hi

    Does anyone know if a Garda Age card is accepted in the UK? Whenever I'm over for a weekend I bring out my passport but I hate doing this as its even more dodgy to take on a night out in another country because you can't get home without it.

    If not, does anyone know any other accepted forms of ID that is not a passport.

    Cheers

    I need to get an age card, I'm still using my passport...that I've had since I was twelve. Unsurprisingly I have changed somewhat in the past eight years!

    It's even worse when they look twice at the Age Card and go.. "Is it really you?"

    Even though I think it looks exactly the same seeing as it was taken only a year ago :mad:

    I applied yesterday and got my form today...
    Have to get a new passport before I can get the age card though because it expires in a few days and then they won't take it as a valid form of ID, basta
