NATIONAL ENTITLEMENT CARD
The Young Scot National Entitlement Card (NEC) is FREE to all young people aged 11-25. It is an electronic card, with a smart chip in it, and over time it will replace all of the current Young Scot cards.
The NEC card will let young people access all of the current Young Scot services including local, national and European discounts. the card is also accredited to carry the national 'Proof of Age Standard Scheme' (PASS) hologram. This allows the cardholder to access goods and services that are "age restricted" locally and nationally.
So What's New With This Card?
The big new thing is cheaper transport for young people (16-18 years old) on buses, trains and ferries across Scotland! Young people in this age group will receive a third off adult single fares on buses all over Scotland. Young people will also receive a Young Person's Railcard, cutting up to one third off train fares.
Over the next year, the NE card can be used as a cashless catering card for secondary pupils. All S1's will be given the opportunity to apply and will recieve information through their school.
How Do I Get A National Entitlement Card?
You can pick up an application form from any of the Local Access Offices or from No1 For Youth in Forfar.
Lost or stolen cards

European Elections
If you are 18 or over you can vote in the European elections and choose who influences your future and the daily life of almost 500 million fellow Europeans. If you dont bother, somebody else will make that decision for you. Elected MEP's shape the future of Europe for 5 upcoming years.
Get the Europe you want! If you dont, dont complain!
Young or old, student or retired, man or woman, Europe concerns all of us, often without realising it. By voting, you will be influencing your everday life, be it the food on our plates, the cost of food and the quality of the air you breathe.
