hey i’m noah i’m a 17 year old male who has agoraphobia due to anxiety and depression i’m looking to see if i can get a proof of age or some form of id such as a passport or a drivers licence without leaving my house. I’ve been looking into getting a stay at home job for a while now and i’ll need a proof of age card and setup a bank account but i need i’d but i can’t go into bank is the problem and i’ve spoken to my gp and psychiatrist about getting a medical exemption for these such things and they are not sure so i was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue or knows away for this to work

Hi Noah134

 

Welcome to the forums and thank you for posting your question. The best alternative I can think of is a birth certificate if your chosen workplace will accept that. I believe with passport applications you can also take the photo at home if you have appropriate setup. Though it is a lot easier at a camera shop or post office. 

 

I know you mentioned you are seeing a GP and psychiatrist. Are you also seeing a psychologist? They are specialists when it comes to helping people with agoraphobia and similar phobias. 

 

Hope that helps.
