Forgot to ask for passport copy for medical

[Oleg92 8]

The interviewer took my passport and was aware that I still need my medical. I forgot to ask and he didn't give me any copy's. Can I bring my national id card to the medical or a UK driving license?

I had my medical earlier this week and was in a similar situation to you. I didn't have my passport because it was being renewed. The receptionist at VisaMedicals accepted my British driver's license (the pink photocard) as photo ID. I double-checked on the day that it was ok and she confirmed that it was all-good.

 

You will be fine attending your medical with your UK driver's license.

I called to double check earlier with visamedicals and the receptionist was persistent that I need a passport or a certified copy 🙄. I tried to explain to her that it's not my fault that the embassy took my passport and didn't give me a certified copy, she even had the cheek to tell me that I shouldn't of went to the interview before the medical and to go back and get my passport. 

 

Anyways what is the big deal with them being so strict about passport being the only required Id? It's only a medical at the end of the day and I have other means to prove my identity 🤔
