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.
PASS provides an easy solution for local retailers to check someone’s age.
Free PASS packs and training materials are available from Young Scot and local trading standards officers.
The Young Scot NEC is a free proof of age card, accessible to young people without a driver’s license or passport.
PASS helps local businesses stay the right side of the law on the sale of restricted goods.
By encouraging the use of PASS, we can help reduce the number of lost drivers licenses and passports.
PASS is a safe, secure, valid form of proof of age supported by experts and the police.
