Citizenship.

I can't remember if I showed any ID at all. My first comp was in Wiltshire and I thought Charlie who was organising it was a guy but they weren't when I got there. 🤣
Yeah I was 8 when I went to my first comp so I didn’t know about any of this paperwork crap that you guys supposedly have to deal with.
 
This is probably my 10 billionth post about wca stuff since i have first comp next month and dont understand alot of the regulations.
In regulation 2e , it states that to compete representing your country, you must hold citizenship in that country, which must be proven by something like a passport.
However, I dont have a passport as I dont travel abroad and I dont have an ID either cause idk why.
Basically Im js wondering what other forms of documents I can use to prove I can represent my country (UK 🇬🇧)
Birth certificate is fine as a form of ID at UK competitions. Even if you don't have any ID at all though, don't worry. Just come along to the competition anyway and the delegates will be able to sort something out.

You dont need to prove your identity unless you want to change it. This post has no need to exist.
This is not true!! The procedure depends on where you are, like I said on the first page.

The organisers/delegates are usually understanding people and will help newcomers out, but obviously a newcomer wouldn't know that because this would be their first interaction with orgs/deles.

In the WCA regulstions you do have to prove your a citizen in the country youve registered as at your first comp.
However, I assume this doesnt happen everywhere in the world part of the wca.
But I do know it happens in the UK.
anyway, this is sorted out now and theres no need to reply anymore just to say this isnt needed or something like that.
