Acceptable ID

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 visit http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/
