What if I don’t have a passport or driving licence?
Other ways you can complete your Yoti ID check.
At launch, all volunteers will need to complete an ID check through Yoti to use GoVo. While a passport or UK driving licence are the most common documents, they’re not the only ones you can use.
Yoti also accepts:
-
Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) – issued by the UK Home Office
-
Citizencard – UK government-recognised proof-of-age card
-
Young Scot National Entitlement Card – for volunteers in Scotland
As long as you have one of the supported documents, you’ll be able to complete your verification and start volunteering.
💡 Tip: If you don’t currently hold one of these documents, you may want to apply for a Citizencard or Young Scot card as an accessible alternative.
