Can i travel by Eurotunnel to the Uk without a passport?

[Lord Pikey]

Title says it all really. I am a UK citizen living abroad. I have sent my passport off to be renewed at the uk embassy in Düsseldorf. It hasn't come back yet and i could do with driving back to the UK this weekend to collect my new car.

Will customs and immigration allow me to do this with a UK drivers licence as identification?

Rollocks.

Ok, its not worth the risk it seems as its not vital i go this weekend.

Ill wait for my new passport to turn up.

Cheers

You might be able to get into the UK (easier if you are travelling with a group of others who all have passports) but getting out again would probably not happen without your passport.

A few years ago a mate lost his passport in a field at Le Mans (think it was actually taken by a group of Danes as payment for him drinking their beers), we stopped off in Paris on the way back to Calais to get some paperwork from the Embassy and had no problems at the border. Any chance you can speak to the guys in Dusseldorf and see what they can do?

I could give them a ring but 1. its a sodding premium rate call and 2. its really not that important i go this weekend. I was only contemplating it if it would be no issue.
