When buying age restricted items such as alcohol or entering
licensed premises, such as a bar, pub or club, you may be
asked to prove your age. The current scheme that
shops and venues operate is called Challenge 21
whereby if you look younger than 21 you may be asked to show ID to
prove that you are over the age of 18.
In some areas this is enforced further by the Challenge 25
scheme where you will be asked for ID if you look under 25 to prove
that you are over 18.
Here are some official acceptable forms of ID:
- Driving Licence - A full or provisional
driving licence is acceptable ID.
- Passport - A passport is acceptable ID.
- PASS Card - For more information
