Authorise someone to collect your TRIDENT ID
Last update: November 5th, 2026
In preparation. This sandbox page previews a proposed service. The button currently returns to the service catalogue and does not submit a request.
About this service
Prepare an authorisation for someone to collect your TRIDENT ID card on your behalf. EBC must accept the authorisation and confirm the identification needed at collection.
What you need
- Your identity and card application details
- The name and identification details of the person collecting
- Your authorisation in the format accepted by EBC
- Any collection notice or reference
What you will do
- Check that the card is ready for collection
- Identify the person you want to authorise
- Complete and sign the authorisation as instructed
- Give the collector the documents required by EBC
What happens next
EBC checks the authorisation and the identity of the collector before releasing the card. Preparing an authorisation does not itself confirm that collection is approved.
The authorised collector attends the approved collection location with the identification and authorisation requested by EBC.
A digital version of the existing collection authorisation is proposed. Acceptance of electronic signatures and the final form will be confirmed by EBC.
