Underage sales
We are committed, as a council, to reducing underage sales
and so the 16+ proof of age scheme has been set up in partnership
with Cambridgeshire County Council and has PASS accreditation.
16+ proof of age card is a national proof of age standards
scheme. Cards are provided free of charge to all young people
in Peterborough, with students being photographed in
school. Cards are issued in the month that the student reaches the
age of sixteen through their school or individually if
required, they have a photograph, the date the student is
sixteen and the date they are eighteen. Replacements can be
provided if a card is lost. Shops should refuse sales of age
restricted products to anyone who cannot produce a valid proof of
age.
