Do I need a copy of my ID document when applying for a passport?

[R0ger]

Question for people who successfully applied for their first passport regarding the "document to support identity":

When I go to a passport centre to apply in person, is it sufficient that I show my driver's licence or do they want to keep the proof-of-ID document while processing the application?

If the latter, I'd better bring a copy ... but as the guarantor would need to sign that copy, I need to know in advance.

Thanks!

1. Passport office will make a copy if necessary.
