{"title":"ID cards","intro":"Every athlete at our events needs an ID card, with their name, date of birth and photo, so they compete in the right age group. Get one from your account in a few minutes, with a phone to check their ID.","points":[{"title":"Which documents work","body":["A UK passport, driving licence or proof-of-age card. You photograph it with a phone on the page of our ID checker, Didit, which reads the athlete's name and date of birth from it. We then match them to the athlete's club's roster on RegChamp, and once they match, the card's ready to pay for.","No passport or driving licence? Their birth certificate works too, full or short. Our team checks each one, which can take a day or two.","If none of these work for your athlete, email us and our team can check their ID another way."]},{"title":"How long a card lasts","body":["Three seasons, including the one it's issued in. Seasons run from 1 August to 31 July, and a card's issued on the day it's paid for.","So a card paid for between August and December lasts three full seasons, and one paid for from January a little over two.","From 1 June before a card expires, you can renew it from your account. If we still have the athlete's checked ID, a renewal only needs paying for and a new headshot."]},{"title":"In time for each event","body":["Pay at least 2 weeks before the athlete's next event, and send their headshot straight away, so we can order the card and post it to their club in time.","From Freeze Out in November 2026, every event's cards come from here, so coaches won't be sent links for each athlete's proof of age and photo.","If an athlete doesn't have their card on the day, and you haven't told us about anything stopping you, there's a £10 admin fee."]},{"title":"Cards from seasons 1 and 2","body":["They last 3 years from when they were issued, as they did then. An athlete with one that's still in date doesn't need a new card until it runs out."]}],"close":"Start with who the card's for. You'll sign in first, or create an account if you haven't got one. Accounts are for anyone 16 or over.","pricePence":200}
