Wartime Travel ID Pack
£9.99
Three replica wartime documents including a British Identity Certificate, Travel Identity Card, and War Department Driving Permit. Ideal for LARP kits and educational display. Printed in Wales.
This three-piece document set provides a faithful reproduction of key identification papers issued during the Second World War, presented as a complementary pack ideal for LARP, theatre, museum exhibitions, or classroom instruction. These papers reflect the layered nature of civilian and military administration during wartime Britain, where one’s ability to move, serve, and assist was tightly recorded and closely monitored.
The first item is a British Identity Certificate, issued to medics, stretcher bearers, and support personnel attached to the Royal Navy, Army, or Royal Air Force. The form, marked prominently with the red cross, includes spaces for the holder’s full name, serial number, and official signatures. Carried in the field, this document identified those performing humanitarian roles and offered a measure of protection under international law, particularly the Geneva Conventions. The inclusion of this certificate underscores the importance placed on medical neutrality during times of conflict and adds historical accuracy to any portrayal of wartime field personnel.
Next is the Travel Identity Card for Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and Eire. This blue-covered card provided wartime citizens with a means of proving their identity when travelling between regions of the United Kingdom and across into Eire. At a time when cross-border movement was strictly regulated and often questioned, especially under air raid conditions or regional evacuation orders, such a card was essential. The replica includes traditional fonts, crest, and layout modelled directly from originals. A must-have for any civilian or official character portrayal in LARP or theatrical re-enactment, the travel card fits comfortably into ration wallets or document satchels, and offers tangible insight into wartime controls over domestic movement.
The final piece is the War Department Driving Permit, Army Form A2038. Printed in a salmon pink tone, this permit was issued under the Emergency Powers Defence Act and governed who was permitted to drive government or military vehicles during the war. It lists permitted classes of vehicle, including light vans, staff cars, and transport vehicles, and includes space for the holder’s name, age, and Government department. The form would have been carried by anyone operating behind the wheel of wartime machinery from ambulances to dispatch motorcycles. For educational purposes, it offers a fascinating link to the less glamorous but vital roles played by supply drivers, staff officers, and Red Cross volunteers.
Together, these three documents form a cohesive and detailed look into the operational paper trail of Britain during the war years. Whether used for immersive storytelling, theatrical costuming, historical lectures, or simply as a collectible set, they evoke a time when ink, paper, and bureaucracy were as critical to the war effort as steel and rations. Recreated with accuracy in Wales using modern archival-quality card, these are made to be handled and displayed with confidence. Ideal companions to ration books, evacuation tags, and service records also available in our store.

Our use of them is solely to provide faithful historical or aesthetic representation, not to mislead customers or imply endorsement, affiliation, or authenticity of origin.
UK Copyright & Fair Dealing
The UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides limited “fair dealing” exceptions under which copyrighted works may be reproduced without permission in certain circumstances (for example, criticism, review, research, private study, or reporting of current events). See Section 29 & Section 30, CDPA 1988. Those exceptions are restrictive and must satisfy that the copying is “fair” in each case. See also UK government guidance on permitted exceptions / fair dealing.
Additionally, since 2014, the CDPA was updated to explicitly allow reproduction for the purposes of parody, caricature or pastiche under fair dealing. See Section 30(1) CDPA 1988 which states that “fair dealing with a work for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche does not infringe copyright.”
UK Trade Marks & Passing Off
The Trade Marks Act 1994 grants registered trademark owners exclusive rights to use their marks in relation to particular goods or services. Use of identical or similar marks in trade for related goods may constitute infringement if there is a likelihood of confusion or association with the original brand. See Section 10, Trade Marks Act 1994 and Section 5, TMA 1994.
Where a mark is not registered, the common law tort of passing off may still provide protection. A claims under passing off require showing (1) goodwill or reputation in the mark, (2) misrepresentation by the defendant, and (3) damage to the claimant. See an overview of passing off principles at Forbes Solicitors – Passing Off Claims and UK Trade Mark Litigation Guide (passing off section).
