A man who claims he was barred from a club in England because a Welsh flag sticker was placed over the Union flag on his driving licence has started a petition.
Bath University student Guto Roberts, from Llangwm, Conwy , tried to use his driving licence as ID to get into The Second Bridge Club in the town on March 15.
However door staff said a Welsh flag sticker over the Union flag on his licence was "defacing" the document and refused him entry he claimed.
Mr Roberts, 19 and a second year business administration student, then claims he offered to remove the sticker but they still refused him entry and tried to take the licence off him.
He believes everyone in the UK should have the right to define what nationality they define themselves as first and foremost and has started a petition calling on the UK Government to give people the choice of not having the union flag on their licences, or having the home nation flag of their choice.
The poll, started two days ago, has already garnered more than 1,900 signatures.
The Union flag was added to all new UK driving licences instead of the European flag from 2015.
Mr Roberts told North Wales Live: "Welsh people feel proud of their nation too. It's all about freedom of choice, if you count yourself as Welsh first.
"It's not only for Welsh people. I think if you're English, Scottish or Northern Irish you should have the choice - you can choose not to have the Union flag or your nation's flag. Your nationality is what you define yourself."
Mr Roberts said he has been told about similar incidences with students from Caernarfon to Cardiff. He also said he had been told sales of the Welsh flag stickers had risen from two to around 100 per week with one retailer.
He said: "It's about identity, which is quite sensitive. You should have the right to express yourself and express who you are."
North Wales Live has attempted to contact the management of The Second Bridge Club for comment.
