New PASS ID card is preferred proof of age for Devon and Cornwall Police

A new proof of age standards scheme card (PASS) has been launched across England and Wales to provide a single, formal proof of age for young people. The scheme is the preferred proof of age identification of Devon and Cornwall Police. A new standardized 18+ design has been adopted in England and Wales to combat the confusion created by multiple card designs amongst retailers.

Carrying the new PASS ID card (which will cost £15) will mean that valuable documents, such as passports and driving licences, are less likely to be lost and young people less likely to be victims of potential fraud that can result. Every card that carries a PASS hologram will have been issued by a provider who has been through a stringent application and accreditation process.
