Procrastinated on getting an ID

[Pen2AndyP]

I just recently turned 18, with a lot of excitement going towards going to the panels and doing things I couldn't before, however, I've managed to procrastinate getting an ID from all the excitement. Is there anyway I can still go to them, or any other form of ID I can use?

I'm not too sure but if you get a state id you get a temporarily one.
Well that's at lest true when you get your drivers licence. I'm not 100% sure on the id only ones.. But either way get now why put it off.

I don't know how Driver's Licenses work, but with a state ID, they do NOT give you a temporary one. They just give you a little piece of paper that has your number and information, but since it doesn't have a picture, it's not usable as identification. At this point, it's probably too late for you, since it took me about a week to recieve mine. So I doubt they'll let you into the 18+ rooms. It sucks, but to be fair, you did have time to get an ID...

Do you still live with your parents? If so, I'm thinking that consent form thing can be used even though you're now an adult. If you have a school ID, I'd probably go to the DMV and get the ID slip thing from them and bring it with your picture ID. Shoot, bring a copy of your birth certificate as well.

Or, just email [email protected] and tell them your story. That would likely be your best bet.

Do you have a Drivers License? Those do have your birthday on them so it MIGHT work to prove your 18. Don't quote me though, I'm not a staff member so I can't say for sure but I assume it would be okay. I would definitely email or PM a staff member now so you can be sure before you get there.

I really just type out random answers, give them all a number, and then use random.org to pick what my posted answer will be.

In this case, it's: There is some great food to be had at Pizza-My-Heart.

Erm, I mean...

We just posted a news article that might be relevant to Pen2AndyP. If you didn't pre-register, there might be other options but I am not 100% aware of them (e-mail [email protected] ).

I mean, I'd probably manage to find some way to pick up my badge one way or the other, but I mean how about 18+ panels and events, Some friends and I were excited about this, and some of us forgot to get our IDs. I'm going to the DMV first thing in the morning and getting whatever it is I can, and thanks for the replies. I hope well all be able to enjoy the con, thanks.

I believe I can attempt to partially answer the part about the more adult rooms.  Since I have been to one or two over the years  ;).

Government issued photo id, with a birthday, is what you will need. Whether that is a drivers license, passport, a general id card from the DMV (I had one when I was 8 because I did a lot of flying).  If you do not have something that has a photo of you, and your birthday on it; it will be really difficult if not impossible to get in.

Washington issues temporary ID's and Drivers Licenses with a photo, I don't know about other states though.

A school ID will not gain you entry to an 18+ panel or showing.
