Official photo ID in the UK seems to be limited to passports and driving
licences and not everyone has these, and does your passport photo
actually look like you when viewed in limited lighting.

I have my 1940 National Identity Card. It has no photograph.

AFAIAA, they didn't put photos on little kids' ID cards. Mine is from a
number of years later, and it doesn't have a photo, either. Adult ID
cards did have photos, though.

I have my father's, dated from when he was discharged from the Army in 1945
- no photo there either.

Interesting. I've seen a few of those cards, and all but the kids' ones
had photos. I don't think I have my mother's - if I do it will be with
her RAF discharge papers, but I can't get at that stuff at the moment.
