We are the accredited issuer of PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme) in Scotland, and all Young Scot NECs issued by local authorities display the PASS hologram. This allows young people to use their Young Scot NEC as a legal, voluntary proof of age.
The Young Scot National Entitlement Card features the PASS hologram, the UK’s national proof of age accreditation scheme. This scheme is endorsed by the Home Office, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), and the Security Industry Authority.
Each card with a PASS hologram undergoes a rigorous application and accreditation process, ensuring the cardholder’s age and personal details are fully verified.
PASS provides an easy solution for local retailers to check someone’s age.
