The card suppliers are assessed against strict standards by qualified auditors to ensure that they operate to the highest standards. Sellers of age restricted products can be confident in accepting cards with a PASS holograms, safe in the knowledge that the scheme is supported by the police, trading standards and a wide range of trade bodies. • Customers Carrying a card bearing the PASS hologram means young people can gain access to the goods and services to which they are legally entitled without having to risk carrying more costly documents such as passports or driving licences. • Retailers When a young person produces any card bearing the PASS hologram, the retailer only needs to check the photo and the date of birth, and the sale can proceed. This saves a massive amount of time for the retailer along with giving them peace of mind. • Enforcers The PASS Scheme was launched in 2000 to combat fake proof-of-age cards which were becoming a widespread national problem.
