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 without having to risk carrying more costly documents such as passports or driving licences.
BENEFITS FOR
RETAILERS
When a young person produces any card bearing the PASS hologram, the retailer only needs to check the photo and the date of birth, and the sale can proceed.
BENEFITS FOR
ENFORCERS
PASS was launched because fake proof-of-age cards were becoming a widespread national problem, and those who sell illegally to under-age customers are liable to fines and may even lose their licences.
