Proof of age card
The Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) is a UK-wide accredited proof of age scheme, backed by the British Retail Consortium, the Home Office, Thames Valley Police and the council. PASS cards are accepted nationally.
The Bracknell Forest e+ card has been granted PASS accreditation. It is a reliable proof of age, available free to those who live, study or work in the borough.
Having an e+ PASS card means you can prove your age without having to carry a passport or driving licence.
Information about how to apply, and what documentation you will need to provide, is available on our application page.

Organ donor register
When you register for an e+ card, you have the chance to register your details with the Organ Donation and Transplantation service at the same time.
