No Photographic ID

[IslandMonkey92]

I went to local EE store today to sort out a new contract phone.

sat with the guy for over an hour as was sorting out our broadband at the same time due to issues with that, got through all the credit check and security checks all set for a new contract and then got told he couldn’t actually put the order through due to me having no photographic identification. 

My passport is expired (which I didn’t realise) and I don’t drive so have not got a provisional licence. 

my current mobile doesn’t work correctly hence the reason for a new contract however I’m now stuck. 

I have 2 young children, and due to disabilities I need a working phone as my time is very much split between home life and constant hospital appointments/trips and all because of photographic ID I won’t be able to get one. 

is there anything else that EE can accept as ID as I’ve already passed the credit checks etc for the phone.

Hi @IslandMonkey92 

How did they run a credit check without photo id. Did you have a utility bill with you. 

Thanks

No, all I had as any kind of ID was my bank card.

It was an iPhone 15 pro max. I spoke to ee in store and was advised to phone them up to speak to someone as we were switching our broadband to ee from bt anyway.

they’ve managed to process my order and sort our broadband out and I have a pin to give to the DPD delivery driver either today or tomorrow.

Hi @Kim260811 

Thanks for coming here. 

Does your Mum have the PIN from DPD for the delivery? 

What device has your Mum ordered? 

Leanne.

Not yet as it's due for delivery tomorrow so I assume she will get it tomorrow
