I'm guessing that you're talking about the FCA assessment.

You have to complete the assessment to buy your bitcoin from the big exchanges.

If you spend more time learning you can buy more anonymously with P2P without any assessments, hodlhodl is a good service.

However the assessments for Kraken, Coinbase and Bittylicious are more or less the same, some questions are just worded differently, you should be able to pass the assessment with the answers I wrote here:

Bittylicious

Coinbase

Download the kraken app or use Revolut which allows you to buy Bitcoin....it's relatively straightforward...we managed it and I put the collective IQ at 'modest'...good luck...when you get it set up it works well...

Yikes and double yikes....I had that problem using Kraken but they tracked it down eventually....fingers crossed...

P2P exchanges like hodlhodl or bisq but they are more complex.

Or you could just use another form of ID.

Use another exchange, if you use Coinbase use Kraken or Bittylicious, vice versa.

Bittylicious defo accepts drivers license.

I have before yes and lots of people use it here, it's just as good as any of them but it's a bit different from Kraken or Coinbase.

You give them your Bitcoin address, pay with your card or whatever and they'll send the coins to your own Bitcoin wallet, from there you can send here.

You could do that yeah but long term not really a smart idea.

To find your Bitcoin address you first need to make a wallet.

Download Cake Wallet from the App Store.

Follow this tutorial to setup and learn how to receive/send Bitcoin to/from your new wallet:

Then you just need to register an account on Bittylicious, you will have to prove your identity there and pass an assessment which if you scroll up to my first reply on this topic you'll find more information about.

The buying Bitcoin > buying something here process is like this:

1.
On the Bittylicous site input your Bitcoin address you get from the 'receive' tab in Cake Wallet

2.
Input the amount of Bitcoin you need (bare in mind there are small fees to send Bitcoin so always buy a little extra Bitcoin)

3.
Then obviously buy the coins with your card or a transfer

4.
After 10-60 minutes the Bitcoin will arrive in your Cake Wallet and you'll be able to see it in there (swipe down from the top of cake wallet to refresh or just close out the app and reopen)

5.
Go to the 'send' tab in Cake Wallet, click the QR code button beside the address tab and scan the QR code on your littlebiggy order page. This will autofill the address and amount so you don't need to copy it over yourself (less room for error).

Has anybody tried Vexl?
I have medium tech skills, but, I cannot renew my passport as it'll be over £200, and I don't need one at the mo, and DVLA are currently refusing to send me a new photo card as it's also expired.

i use kraken also - what's changed for you?

i just completed the FCA questionnaire - only a few questions and easily completed.
