PASS: The national proof of age standards scheme
PASS is the UK's national guaranteee scheme for proof-of-age cards. The PASS hologram on a card is the hallmark indicating that the issuer has passed a stringent audit, carried out by trading standards officers, and that the card may be relied upon.
The following cards are all part of the PASS scheme:
- CitizenCard
- VALIDATE UK
- Connexions Card
- Young Scot
- Portman Group Card
- Bite Card, Essex County Council
- The Bracknell Forest SmartCard
- Bury Council
- Herefordshire Council
- Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
- Southampton City Council
- Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
- Wrexham Partnership
- Suffolk County Council Explore Card
- Blackpool County Council Blackpool's Proof of Age card
- Stoke on Trent City Council Age Check
- Cambridge and Peterborough
- Oldham’s Justif: ID Proof of Age Scheme
Almost two million young people hold proof-of-age cards bearing the PASS hologram, and numbers are increasing all the time.
This leaflet explains what PASS is, the benefits of PASS to retailers, enforcers and young people.
