Licences issued before 1999 were not photocards and don't expire until your 70th birthday, unless you move house. Hence the last old green or pink licences may be valid until about 2050.
I see, thank you, I have moved house twice since 99.

I have a touch screen smart phone and plenty tech savvy enough to use it thank you.
It's Googlepay I have the issue with. I don't have it, don't want it and refuse to give Google my card details.
I don't complain about your choices, if you don't like mine, fine, but your thinly veiled sarcastic digs are not appreciated. So do one.
Just to be clear (for anyone else reading this thread) - you do not have to put any credit or debit card details into Google Pay in order to use it as a 'wallet' for your season ticket.
Google Pay is simply a place to hold your ticket on your phone, from the Albion's perspective. If you want to use it as a payment system more generally, you can if you want (and will have to link a credit or debit card to it).
I have my season ticket held within Google Pay, but have no credit or debit card details linked to Google Pay.

This is what I have done too. I've arranged for Junior Orange to get a new season ticket card, as he is too young for a smart phone and I don't want his season ticket stuck on my phone if for some reason I can't take him (like a couple of years ago when I got hospitalised).

If you got an even more modern iphone the 2 quick presses on the power button are no longer needed, you just present it the terminal and it opens automatically.

I had to send a copy of my driving licence and a recent photo of myself to supporter services, the said they will issue a new physical season ticket, I know a few people who do not have any form of photo ID, dont know how they will get in.

I mean if you're such a luddite that in 2021 you've never bothered to get a photo ID is that really the club's fault? They shouldn't have to jump through hoops for societies' hold outs.

If you've paid up front for a season ticket and now are told 'by the way you need photo-id then the club need to come up with a solution.
nobody's fault and no need to jump through hoops
probably just need an important grown up to verify a photo is you (like when you apply for a passport)

I don’t have any problem with tickets by smart phone but let’s be honest this is all about the clubs solution to people giving tickets to family and friends when not attending. All good this season when not a sell out as long as you pay an extra £20 to be able to pass on.
Long term though I can only see this as something that will put many off having a season ticket at all with the extra faff if not attending. Probably not a problem all the time we are doing ok in The Prem. Could unravel when we eventually get relegated though and supply is greater than demand.

Just to reassure you that to use your season ticket with Google Pay you don't have to have any credit or debit cards added to Google Pay. You can use Google pay for just your season tickets and nothing else.

Everybody does
I agree its off putting and a lot of hassle. I still haven't heard from supporter services. 48 hour later got 1 of my 2 emails acknowledged. Quite slow makes me wonder how many fans are affected by the changes?

You think you have problems. I still have both my eyes on my passport photo
no passport no driving licence no bus pass no id with DOB and pic on, seems birth certificates universally acceptable everywhere else are not good enough for "Dear Supporter" a generic letter response directly supporters back through hoops of online links going dizzy in circles isnt helpful. Ive no time whatsoever between now and start season to obtain a bus pass i dont want or need (except for a season ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) so looks like i will have to throw away season tickets and apply on match by match basis if the club permit entry without these ridiculous stranglehold's. I cant be alone in having kids with no bus pass or other form of id with DOB and pic on weve been in lockdown for 2 years FFS
