Fair enough I can change this over but to do this I need my birth certificate. Ok, I can go get this tomorrow, but they also say further checks may be needed.
Can anyone suggest any ideas to speed the process of my photo ID?

Not sure whether this would be acceptable, but if you are on the electoral roll & can provide an utility bill confirming your name at the registered address, plus the birth certificate, could you get a notary public to certify that any photo was a true likeness of yourself, as the person you are?
Otherwise it looks like 3 weeks to get a photo licence....
- or, Mick, one of the forum admins, did find getting a passport quicker than he expected, recently. But you do run the risk of being called for an 'assessment' as a new applicant - and it is a lot more expensive than a driving licence - although there are good reasons for getting one now, as the rules change, again, soon
