CitizenCard is the UK's leading proof of age and photo ID card. We have issued more than 2.5 million CitizenCards since 1999. Using a CitizenCard is voluntary, but it can make life much easier.

Many organisations need to confirm your age or identity and having a CitizenCard allows you to prove this. Even if you have a passport or photo driving licence, having a CitizenCard means you can leave these more valuable documents safely at home. Using a CitizenCard you can access the products and services to which you are entitled.

You can use CitizenCard for:

• voting in general and local elections
• home shopping (including purchasing alcohol and tobacco)
• visiting the bookies, bingo or casino
• entry to nightclubs, bars and pubs
• entry to festivals
• travel and domestic flights (including British Overseas Territories like Channel Islands)
• starting work or for a job interview
• playing the lottery or buying scratch cards
• accessing housing services or claiming benefits
• prisons visits
• purchasing videos (DVDs or Blu-Ray discs) and computer games
• applying for a UK driving licence (as evidence of your identity)
• any other age-restricted entry or purchase
