What is a Proof Of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) Card and Who Uses It?
The Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) card is an accredited proof-of-age card issued in the United Kingdom. It serves as a reliable and secure method for verifying the age and identity of individuals, primarily to prevent the illegal purchase of age-restricted goods and services. The PASS card is widely recognized and accepted across the UK, offering a convenient alternative to carrying a passport or driving license.
Key Features and Benefits:
