I'm confused - why is a provisional worth less for ID purposes?
All you do to get a full license is send off your provisional and they send it back a different colour!!

I have no idea, but it's not just HSBC a lot of other places do it as well. Including some of the bigger pub chains.

Hmm I wouldnt know having had the full license for a few years now, but it was fine when I had a provisional. A most odd decision indeed, as technically its a proper proof of ID

it says on the license.. its next to the date of when it is valid from.. so basically its on the line below your date of birth

I agree. But only because some places don't accept provisional licenses. If it wasn't for that it would be money well spent.

My argument is that other photo IDs are a lot cheaper.

and aren't accepted any where. Only driving license and passport are widely accepted. All these proof you age cards are a waste of money as next to no one accepts them.
