    Hi guys, I lost my garda age card last weekend and but was thinking of going out tomorrow.

    I have a one of the old paper divers licences and was wondering would it work as ID?

    I am 20 and 6ft3 but look quite young do you think it would work or should I wait for a new age card?

    Who knows? It entirely depends on each venue. The Garda age card is the only ID that gives a licensed premises a legal defence against underage drinkers so don't be surprised if you get refused without it despite being of legal age.

    to be clear are you trying to use a divers license like PADI or have you left an r out of drivers license twice?

    I always use my licence. Never had any trouble, didn't bother getting an age card.

    or you could ring them first and take all the guesswork out of it.

    Provisional or full? Most fakes are provisionals

    Why would you buy a fake provisional licence?:confused:

    It was easy enough to make yourself a year or two older with the provisionals which was why most fake ids were provisionals. Places copped on and stopped accepting them for id

    I've never been refused with a full licence in Ireland. I've had a doorman in Leeds ask if I made it myself, though.
