38. ID Day

Money Mondays

There really is a 'Day' for everything and today is 'International Identification Day' (16th September) so Emma & Zak are looking at ways to sort out your ID while you’re in prison.

To help them, they’ve invited back Paul Retout from the Tax Academy (And frequent Inside Time contributor) to look at how it might be possible to source a birth certificate, passport or driving licence while you’re inside. Spoiler: It’s not going to be easy but it IS possible

Having some form of valid ID is really important as it can help you secure a bank account, employment and it will even allow you to vote!
