How do I apply for a Young Scot NEC if I don’t have identification?
You can ask an approved member of staff to support your application. This person should be able to confirm your name and date of birth against an approved data source. The approved member of staff could be a teacher checking against education records, a doctor checking against NHS records etc. Please speak directly to your Local Authority regarding this.
How do I apply for a Young Scot NEC if I don’t have photographic identification?
If you don’t have ID with a photograph on it, you can use a birth certificate (or similar document) alongside a referee who will confirm your likeness. Your referee should have no family or personal relationship with you. Recognised professions for a referee include bank/building society official, MP/MSP, dentist, nurse, optician, pharmacist, police officer, social worker, teacher or lecturer. You must speak to your Local Authority to discuss this in detail.
What if I’ve recently moved to a different council area?
If you have a card from another local authority but have since moved, you should contact the council you now stay in to request a replacement card, and explain that you have moved council area.
