Validate Cards

- Are you often asked to prove your age? Several products in the United Kingdon carry an age restriction and you may be asked to prove how old you are before buying some products and services. Validate UK is a national voluntary proof of age card that can help you prove your age. Validate UK cards are available to any young person over the age of 12.

The West Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership will provide cards free to young people still at school/ college in West Wiltshire.

For more information please contact Ishti Turner, Community Safety Officer, on 01225 770338, or e-mail communitysafety@westwiltshire.gov.uk.

You can contact the Validate UK national office on 01725 517459, or visit the Validate UK website.
