I don't. But I did need it a few times, and I was shocked how easily you could just assume someone elses identity.

If you don't have it, they ask you for an ID, you show your ID and answer basic questions like when and where were you born, and then they immediately print out a piece of paper, stamp it, and you can go and get a passport.

The ID wasn't even checked with the scanner, they just took half a glance at it.

Fake identities are so easy to get it's criminal

I have my original birth certificate my original NI card and my doctors card with vaccinations written in from when I was a baby. I’m also only on my second driving license, the first one was only valid for two years for some reason, otherwise I would still be on the original.

Paper Town Central, Essex.

Yes indeed. More importantly, I can put my hand straight on it. I keep it in a fire retardant bag along with all my important documents, like my will and a pretty filled probate form and funeral arrangement documents.

It was a pain to locate all my parents stuff when they passed away, I vowed to make it easier for my children.

More importantly, they also know where the stuff is.

Well, a government issued ID is a good start for a fake identity though....

This works in the UK because they let anybody in or have a passport / work visa. This would be rejected by most o other countries, they require biometric ID, notarised documents, evidence of health screening. Getting a document notarised and then attested in the UK can take up to 3 months and cost around £500

Well, that was Germany. Go to the city hall, tell em you lost your id, then they confirm your data, you get a birth certificate, that you can bring over to the passport office, then you will be issued an ID card or Passport.

Flawed.

My mum couldn't spell the name she wanted to give me, so chose another. My father misspelt it for the certificate and apparently the vicar used a different name entirely during my christening

It's no wonder I'm so discombobulated
