Just to confirm, this definitely IS acceptable as voter ID according to the horses mouth, the Electoral Commission, quote:
Proof of age
(I'm in an area where voter ID was originally trialled and I don't believe this was acceptable back then, so it looks like the list of allowable voter IDs has been expanded since then.)
Proof of age
- Identity card bearing the Proof of Age Standards Scheme hologram (a PASS card)

Yes its run by bookies and tobacco salesmen
dawsonsweekRemove the ON from the end, the code is FREEVOTERID
JamieH65Back in the day I used one of these, the amount of pubs that refused me service were unreal. I stopped using it eventually.
CrossbowDid it work anywhere? Was it not a valid form of ID in pubs at the time, or did they think it could be fake?
outrageoushamThis is just jokes, a driving licence would do or simply get a provisional one. This is waste of money and time (even if it’s free) I can feel the cringe carrying this plastic thing around (edited)fatgit£34 for a provisional, which not everyone can afford, wants or can have (certain medical conditions mean you can't get a provisional but also don't qualify you for a disabled bus pass for example).
c135"not-for-profit business" yea right
useless and repost...
why are people so eager to give away their private data for a piece of plastic... (edited)
chanI agree.. Banks are not accepting this as proof of ID anyway.I applied for one last year but found it pointless and useless,
after going through a process of proving oneself to apply for a Citizen card

In the UK we do not need IDs
DO NOT APPLYfatgitYou need photo ID if you intend to vote in person.
Alternatively, you can apply for a postal vote as that's free and doesn't require ID
thomasmossFREEVOTERID Works- LanBJust why is Ladbroke and CoOp involved in CitizenCard
Sho_NuffI don't know where it says that but I do know CoOp have been involved in using facial recognition software in their own stores. I believe "Big Brother Watch" have a video about it on Youtube. I don't like where this stuff is going.

Proof of age cards with the "PASS" holographic logo are acceptable according to the horse mouth aka the electoral commission. electoralcommission.org.uk/i-a…-id
noeltech2000Can't use PC ... Have to use phone for photo taking online
face-crabUse software webcam like OBS studio, can use crop of screen with picture of ID.
Taka_naiPlanning to visit France. Although I intend to keep my passports on me, as I have to carry ID at all times, I am concerned about losing them whilst out. Would this be a good alternative to either keep at the hotel or to carry with me?CrossbowIt depends, this likely will not be accepted in France...support.citizencard.com/Kno…ted
Where is CitizenCard accepted?
UK retailers, pubs, clubs and other establishments are advised by the Police, Trading Standards and the Home Office to accept proof of age cards that bear the PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme) hologram, including CitizenCard.
In December 2016 the "Leave your passport at home" campaign was launched by the Home Office. The campaign encourages people to leave their passport at home and use a PASS card such as CitizenCard instead for all proof of age and ID purposes.
You can also use your CitizenCard to fly within the UK. (edited)
L411My passport expires next year. I don’t drive and am not planning on travel. Renewing my passport seems expensive in these circumstances. How accepted is this? Is there another more mainstream way? I only ever see passport or driving licence as ID options
Ethan_HuntszEThe List is HERE at the bottom . My Wife and I got them on the last free deal here to fly with (internally)
(edited)
sureshotThree refused to recognise this as ID when getting a replacement SIM card from them last year.
Chris5626This is designed as a proof of age card. Essentially it's just confirming your ID (your name and photo) and your age.
Three might require proof of address which this card is not, if not then it is likely that whoever you dealt with isn't familiar with PASS (which they probably should be if they work in retail).- fgycode still works (did a dummy run)
iGladI never take ID with me if I’m shopping why would I need it? Even for click and collect I have the invoice and code number.
If a shop asks me for photo ID I’ll tell them to do one. (edited)
wh1zzardWhat a rebel
JoShmoFake.
No way she's 33

malpass402Why have you got the “on” at the end of the code ?
EugeneVictorToomsAh man, getting ID'd... Those were the days
ninezerofive_So they give you this card for "free" and in return have all you information and how you look like.... Yeah i don't think so.mr_johnsieYeah they are a big bad bogeyman and they are out to get you. Don’t forget your tin foil hat next time you go outside. Watch out for those chemtrails and bill gates too (edited)
fiyeroI got one of these last time (don't drive and don't drink or smoke so never worried about ID much, thought it useful to keep with me and a nicer size than a passport!
MicrometeoroidWhat ID do you need to give them on sign up ?tcfPassport or driving licence.
nascentI've had one for a while now and it's literally never accepted anywhere I produce it.
Hell I even found out about it from a poster at Sainsbury's. That very Sainsbury's rejected it as unaccepted id
itchyoneThen their staff require training. Flag with a manager and escalate to complaints.
lodjik_These are useless for using as an ID at a retailer or for buying alcohol. As much as they would like to be accepted they are simply not recognised as they are easy to fake. I work at one of the UK's biggest retailers and we are told not to accept them as valid ID.Chris5626Any card (including this one) that carries the PASS hologram should be accepted for the purpose of age verification in the UK and can be verified in seconds and for free online.
I understand that you don't set the policies for your retailer but PASS is Proof of Age Standards Scheme, it is a government backed ID standard and it's endorsed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) (the same people your security are licenced by if your retailer have them), Trading Standards, the Electoral Commission, the police and the Home Office.
If any of your staff sell age restricted products to someone underage it's Trading Standards that will be investigating it, they endorse PASS.
tron05Does anyone know the duration validity of this card? The sample card on this thread shows an expiry date. IMHO proof of age cards shouldn't have expiry dates as you would never grow younger.
Matt_JayMaybe I'm in the minority but I don't take my driving licence and passport out with me anyway. They are secure at home. No chance of losing them.
Also don't need one of these. But it's free (if you don't value your data privacy). (edited)- E55kI’m confused why would you need this if you have a driving licencemr_johnsieAlways good to have a spare.
debs.fitzStill waiting for confirmation email

Ega_HacassWhy do you need this if you have driving license or passport.... At the same time does anyone want to buy a bridge? (edited)JoShmoI'm after a tunnel as it goes.

"Young people face a higher risk of losing their passport as they often use it as a form of age verification.
A passport is a highly valuable document. If it gets lost or stolen, not only does it cost the holder money to replace it, but it can fall into the hands of criminals unless it is handed in and cancelled.
We are working with a number of stakeholders including retailers, licensed premises, police, local authorities and students, to communicate that there are better ways to prove your age, such as the PASS card ([such as this CitizenCard]"

NOTE: However, from some of the posts below it would appear it is not always readily accepted or accepted at all as proof of ID/age in certain places & no other countries, unlike a valid Driver's Licence or Passport which would always do.
