The National Entitlement Card For Young People

Your Young Scot National Entitlement Card (NEC) is a free electronic smart card for all young people aged 11 to 26. The card has been created by the Scottish Government, Young Scot, your local council and lots of other organisations working together so that it's easier for you to use their services across Scotland.

Never had a card before?

Most schools issue cards, but if yours doesn’t or you have left school, you can apply to get a free card from your local council.

Contact the InfoLine on 0808 801 0338 or email infoline@youngscot.org and we’ll send you an application out in the post. Simply take the completed application form together with two forms of ID to a local validation point. You’ll then receive a shiny new card in the post.

Discounts

Your Young Scot NEC Card gives you exclusive discounts at over 1,400 outlets around Scotland.

Shopping, eating out, hurtling around a racetrack. We can save you money on almost anything. Check out the discounts section for a full list of discounts available near you.

And if that isn’t enough, the card is also part of the European Youth Card Network which means you get over 100,000 discounts in 42 countries. Check out eyca.org/discounts to find the discounts available in other countries.

Proof of Age

The Young Scot NEC card has a PASS hologram on it, which makes it as credible as a driving license or passport for proving your age, be it on a bus at the cinema or in a shop.

The introduction of Challenge 25 in Scotland will mean that all retailers will be obliged by law to challenge anyone who they believe could be 25 or under for identification. This will make the NEC card even more valuable in your wallet!

Many banks also accept the card as a form of identity if you’re opening up a bank account.

Travel

The Young Scot NEC Card also makes it a little easier to get about town. 16, 17 and 18 year olds, or full-time volunteers aged under 26 can use the card to get special deals on transport. These include:

  • A third off adult single fares on bus services in Scotland
  • A free Scottish Youth Railcard (a third off Scottish rail services)
  • Two free ferry journeys to the mainland for Islanders

To claim these discounts, you will need travel vouchers which will be sent out automatically when you turn 16. If you haven’t received them your local council will be able to reissue them.

Additionally, if you have a disability and meet certain criteria, you can get a Young Scot NEC which will let you get Scotland-wide free bus travel. For more information about the different criteria, and to see if you qualify for free bus travel, visit Transport Scotland.

Council services

Depending on the area you live in, you may also be able to use the card for a range of other council services, including cashless catering in schools as well as leisure and library membership.
