The Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) is a national identity card scheme launched in June 2014 and endorsed by the Home Office, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and the Trading Standards Institute (TSI).
The card bearing the PASS hologram can be used as proof of age in pubs, clubs and shops.
