- my driver's license I''ve never shown this to anybody, ever since acquiring it. (Then again, I don't own a car.)
- my credit card Yes, if I'm paying for something with it. A couple of times I've used it as a form of identity, too.
- my Medicare card The only people who've ever seen my NHS card are a doctor or two I registered with. I've given the numberon it to hospital receptionsits once or twice, but these days I generally say "Sorry, I can't remember what it is".
- my address Pretty standard for expensive purchases.
- how long I've lived there Never been asked this.
- where I work Never been asked this, except as social small talk. Except maybe when I applied for a mortgage on my house.
- my boss's name and contact number Never had to give this outside a work context.
- how long I've worked there Never been asked this that I can remember.
- my signature (three times) Given this.
- my bank account details Given this when arranging to pay by direct debit.
When I got my mobile, as far as I remember all they wanted was my credit card and address. I've proven my identity by presenting an electricity, gas or telephone bill with my name and address on it often enough; that's pretty standard here. If anyone asked for photo ID I'd have to go and get my passport.
