The age of majority in England is 18, having been reduced from 21 by the Family Law Reform Act 1969. At that age persons are considered as adults and acquire the legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts (thus to hold a credit card and take out a loan), to vote in elections, to buy tobacco and cigarettes and have a tattoo. Below that age persons are considered in law to be "infants" and colloquially to be "children" or youth. There are some things a person cannot do at age 18. For example, one must be 21 to adopt a child (unless one is the mother or father of the child).
