National Entitlement Card

The National Entitlement Card (NEC) is Scotland’s National Smartcard. Supported by Scottish Government to deliver national and local services, the NEC makes it convenient for citizens to access various public services and facilities with only one card.

Public services are continually improving and developing to be delivered at the highest possible quality for citizens and their local areas. The National Entitlement Card Programme Office (NECPO) supports the 32 Scottish Councils by assisting with the integration of various national and local public services on the smartcard for citizens.

Supporting local communities and customer needs and interests, is at the heart of the NEC. By using the one smartcard that delivers multiple purposes, Councils can efficiently deliver various public services to customers who need and use them the most.
