Proof Of Age Cards!

The Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) is the UK's national guarantee scheme for proof-of-age cards. The scheme was launched to bring in a common standard, an easily recognisable identity and a robust accreditation process to help protect retailers of age-related sales, and their employees from the myriad of fake cards used throughout the country. The PASS hologram on a card is the hallmark indicating that the card issuer has passed a stringent and rigorous audit process carried out by Trading Standards Officers and that the card may be relied upon.
