What is PASS?
PASS is the UK’s national guarantee 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 hologram is forge-proof and recognisable – and the scheme is supported by the Home Office, the British Retail Consortium, Trading Standards Institute, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and Southampton City Council.
Benefits for young people
Carrying a card bearing the PASS hologram means young people can gain access to the goods and services to which they are legally entitled to without having to risk carrying more costly documents such as passports or driving licences.
 | PROOF OF AGE - PASS The PASS hologram on a card is the hallmark indicating that the issuer has been approved by Trading Standards.
The PASS hologram is nationally recognised by bars, clubs, restaurants and bus companies as a valid proof of age.
