Petition Action

Give 16 year olds an I.D card Instead of using a birth certificate/passport.

Petition Details

At 16 you can buy a lottery ticket, energy drinks and cinema tickets for certain films, but without your passport or birth certificate it is difficult to prove your age. Many do not wish to carry these valuable documents with them for fear of loss or theft.

Additional Information

We ask the government to give a card to everyone at the age of 16 and above, with their photo, name and D.O.B to prove their age. Passports and birth certificates are valuable and difficult to replace and a National Insurance card isn't classed as formal I.D.
