ID for phone

mbro · ‎18-09-2025

I know this question has been asked many times before but I'm hoping one of the EE specialists can confirm if what I'm asking is ok, otherwise I will phone up EE and get my order cancelled.

I've searched for my passport and cannot find it, I don't have a driving license. But I do have my government issued photo bus pass (the reason I don't have a driving license is the same reason I have a bus pass and I'll never get one issued). Now when I was on holiday last year I did take a picture of my passport pages on my phone for safety in case I lost it there, and I'm now appreciating why I was told to do that.

Anyway, when DPD come to deliver can I show them either my bus pass or the photo of my passport? If not, I'll just go and cancel the order as it will take a few weeks for a new one to be issued.

Thanks

A bus pass is a local authority issued photo bus pass sanctioned under Act of Parliament & is not acceptable.

I'm not sure they will accept a photo of your passport but you could try to get a Verified EE ID with it.

Hello @mbro ,

Welcome to the community,

When DPD come to deliver your device, you should have received a PIN number, which you show the driver, which should be enough to enable you to accept the device. I would suggest you sign up to DPD with the same email and mobile number so that you can get the PIN number and can receive the device.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using web based app or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
