If you don't have any of the required identification documents to join the library, there are still steps you can take. Birmingham City Council advises that if you are missing the acceptable forms of ID, you can provide whatever documents you do have, and they will consider these when processing your membership. However, you may be asked for additional proof later.
Here's a quick overview of what's typically needed:
| Proof of Identity | Acceptable Types of Documents |
|---|---|
| Proof of Name and Address | Driving licence, bank statement, utility bill (water, gas, etc.), tenancy agreement, council tax bill, etc. |
If you're a student, additional proof of both your home and temporary addresses is necessary. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your local library for guidance or assistance in your situation. You can also register online here.
