Reminder: If you have no voter ID, apply for a postal vote.
Signal boost for UK followers.
Sneaky though that looks (and IMO it IS sneaky, surfacing now as it has) the reason is legit: issue of 60+ cards require a passport or other “strong” ID, issue 18+ cards do not.
However the Registration To Vote deadline is 11:59pm on 18 June 2024.
That means 19 days as of this post, and the clock is ticking.

Northern Ireland’s equivalent to the Voter Authority Certificate is an Electoral Identity Card, for which the deadline is midnight on 26 June 2024.
However:
When will I receive my card?
It takes time to process your application. If your application is successful you should allow up to six weeks to receive your Electoral Identity Card.
I wonder how an application for one of these made right now - or indeed made the instant the General Election was announced - will play out come 4th June.
