I am an EU citizen (greek). My greek passpost has expired and renewing it would take a lot of time and money. Does anyone know if I can use instead my driving license as identification to travel within Europe?
Thanks

don't you guys check your answers at all?
For EU citizens
Passport or identity card
There are no longer any frontier controls at the borders between more than half the EU countries. This is thanks to the so-called Schengen agreement which is part of EU law. The Schengen rules remove all internal border controls but put in place effective controls at the external borders of the EU and introduce a common visa policy. The full Schengen members are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden (but not Ireland and the United Kingdom) plus Iceland and Norway (which are not EU members).
The 10 countries that joined the EU in 2004 do not yet fully participate in Schengen. You will therefore need a valid passport or ID card to travel to those countries and to Ireland and the United Kingdom.
When entering or leaving the EU at the external borders you will need a valid passport or an ID card. You may, of course, need your passport when leaving the EU in order to enter the country of your destination.
It’s best to have your passport or ID card when travelling in the EU because you may be required to prove your identity. If public order or national security so require, checks at the internal borders may be carried out for limited periods.
Make sure that any children travelling with you either have their own passport or ID card or are registered on yours.
Agreements with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland enable their nationals to be treated in the same way as EU citizens and to travel with just an ID card or passport in the EU.

you are able to pass to the united kingdom in case you return and forth by making use of ferry from eire without passport yet no longer in case you fly. regardless of the undeniable fact that to return and forth to any mainland ecu united states of america you will desire a passport. as properly many motels in Europe call to your passport once you e book in.

Don't think so, particularly if you are entering countries that are members of the Schengen agreement. Sorry, you'll need your passport.

I don't know. I think you need a personal card(how do you call that). I know because I live in Europe.

you would need your passport since you're going out of the country to another.
