Prove your age and ID

CitizenCard proof of age & ID cards are available for any UK resident and are issued in 3 age categories: '18+' for adults, '16-17' for young people over 16 and 'Under 16' for children. All cards printed from 7th January 2021 onwards expire 3 years after date of issue (rounded up to the end of the month).

Whether you are voting in elections, purchasing alcohol and tobacco, going out at night, playing the lottery, applying for a new job, visiting premises (like prison), accessing services like transport or claiming benefits, CitizenCard helps you prove your age and identity.

We offer two products for all age categories - in addition to the CitizenCard ID we also offer the Yoti CitizenCard, the digital ID solution - a physical ID card which can be used to create your identity on the free Yoti mobile app. Furthermore, after you become a cardholder you can access online discounts to save money.
