You&amp;#x27;re relying on the fact that the person renting you a van doesn&amp;#x27;t much care and isn&amp;#x27;t keeping the exact details from those documents.&lt;p&gt;But although you can do this today, obviously the documents get scanned into a permanent data repository, so, that&amp;#x27;s not great. But, the UK government added a site so you can prove you&amp;#x27;re you, and get codes, which for a limited period show someone that yup, this person is legal to drive and so on.&lt;p&gt;They do this for right to work too. Although, annoyingly &lt;i&gt;only for foreigners&lt;/i&gt;. If you&amp;#x27;re a citizen, you can&amp;#x27;t prove right to work this way, you need to be like &amp;quot;Look, I&amp;#x27;m a citizen, here&amp;#x27;s proof&amp;quot; to your employer. But if you are foreign you can just go &amp;quot;Check this URL, your government says I&amp;#x27;m entitled to work here&amp;quot; and they needn&amp;#x27;t know whether that&amp;#x27;s because your husband is a &amp;quot;Cultural Attaché&amp;quot; to the Russian Embassy, or you&amp;#x27;ve got special refugee status, or you&amp;#x27;re actually an Italian and you just speak  and look Russian for some reason, just that you&amp;#x27;re entitled to work here.</text></comment>
