There is a Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS), which is a national proof of age accreditation scheme. A young person should make sure that any proof of age card s/he obtains is accredited under the scheme and can, therefore, be relied upon.
If it is accredited, it will have the PASS hologram.
It should also bear the young person's full name, date of birth, a passport standard photograph and an image of the holder's signature.
A young person wanting to obtain a proof of age card should look at the PASS website for more information.
See: www.pass-scheme.org.uk.
