Pubs and bars can accept digital ID for age checks
As of this week, establishments like pubs, off-licences, nightclubs, and restaurants across England and Wales are permitted to utilize digital ID applications for age verification of patrons. Individuals can download an application to scan their face using their phone, which creates a QR code confirming their age while safeguarding private personal information. The government hopes this will reduce fraudulent IDs and make nights out safer.
