Validate UK Proof of Age Card

 

Validate logoWarrington Borough Council has introduced the Validate UK proof of age scheme in partnership with Cheshire Police and the local Health Promotion Unit.

Validate UK cards are available to all young people aged 16 years and over and will be accepted as proof that the young person is legally entitled to purchase certain age restricted products. Validate UK is a national scheme and brand which has been adapted for use locally in Warrington.

A Validate UK card is free.

Validate CardValidate UK is not an ID card and will not be requested other than on the occasion the holder attempts to purchase age restricted products.

We hope that the Validate UK scheme will help young people to develop responsible attitudes to their lifestyle and will also enable them to take control of actions which affect their health.

In order to issue the proof of age card you must provide the following:-

  • A fully completed form. This can be downloaded from the Payments and Forms
  • A recent passport sized photograph of yourself
  • Your birth certificate
  • One other form of acceptable ID preferably with your photograph on it eg passport, student card, driving licence.       

Take all the above documents in person to:-

Warrington Borough Council, Trading Standards, Palmyra House, Palmyra Square North, Warrington, WA1 1JN

OR

to any validation point. Please contact Warrington Trading Standards for further information:

Warrington Borough Council reserves the right to refuse to issue the card where any doubt exists as to the accuracy of details of documentation.

Warning!
It is a criminal offence to attempt to obtain a card by providing false information.
