Their plea comes a month after the two major Island breweries, CI Hospitality and Randalls, announced that their pubs and clubs would no longer accept driving licences because they were too easy to fake.
The identity cards, produced by the UK-based Portman group, show the card holders name and date of birth and cannot be applied for unless signed by a teacher, social worker, doctor or police officer.
Police say that because the photo is scanned, and not stuck, onto the surface of the card, youngsters will not be able to forge them as they can with Jersey driving licences.
By March, most pubs and clubs will only accept passports, or the new card, as identification.
