When 22-year-old Charles Wade-Palmer applied for a new license, he thought he was going to be able to live a full life as an adult: drive a car, go to bars, and do other typical things young people enjoy on a regular basis. He waited two months after losing his old ID card before getting a new one.
But when he saw it, he was stunned: This wasn't the license he was expecting to receive.
All the information was correct, with the exception of his picture. Though it was his, it was long out of date: the photo was of him at age 11!
The young man used the photo when he applied for a provisional license at the age of 16. It was accidentally reused instead of the more current one he submitted.
Charles has tried using the ID to purchase alcohol and is often asked for a second form of identification.

22-year-old Charles Wade-Palmer recently applied for a new ID after losing his old one.
He was looking forward to doing all the things any adult can enjoy with a license, such as drive a car or buy booze.
But when he got his new one, he was stunned by the photo used.
It was one of his 11-year-old self! He had submitted the image when he was 16 for a provisional license, and it had been accidentally reused.
Charles has even tried to enter bars with his new ID, but is often asked for a second form of identification.
He's been told that he will have to wait until he's 26 years old before getting a new one with the correct photo. However, we hope that this mishap will be corrected before then!
Please SHARE if you hope this young man can get a new ID card with a more current photo soon!
