Read the first 7 Age Verification & ID Checking Procedures flashcards as text

  1. A customer presents a valid-looking ID but their physical appearance strongly suggests they are much younger than the stated age. What should you do?

    Answer: Request a secondary form of ID and use your best judgment

    When there is a significant discrepancy between the ID and the person's appearance, requesting a secondary ID is a responsible step before making a service decision.

  2. What does a 'bent, laminated, or heavily worn' ID typically signal to a responsible server?

    Answer: The ID may have been tampered with or is otherwise unreliable

    Physical damage or abnormal wear can indicate tampering or a fake ID, and warrants closer inspection or refusal if authenticity cannot be confirmed.

  3. In most US states, which of the following IDs issued by a foreign government IS generally accepted for age verification?

    Answer: A valid foreign passport with a photo and date of birth

    A valid foreign passport is internationally recognized, contains a photo and birth date, and is generally accepted as proof of age in the US.

  4. A customer becomes aggressive when asked for their ID. What is the best course of action?

    Answer: Remain calm, explain it is policy, and refuse service if they will not comply

    Remaining calm and enforcing the policy protects you legally; if a customer refuses to show ID, you must refuse service regardless of their reaction.

  5. What information is LEAST useful when verifying an ID's authenticity?

    Answer: The customer's hair color as listed on the ID

    Hair color can change easily and is not a reliable security feature; holograms, expiration dates, and UV/raised printing are harder to forge.

  6. An off-duty police officer you recognize asks you to serve their teenage child 'just this once.' What should you do?

    Answer: Refuse service — no exception exists for minors regardless of who is asking

    No authority figure or parental consent overrides your legal obligation not to serve alcohol to a minor in a licensed establishment.

  7. When should you record a refusal of service in an incident log?

    Answer: Every time you refuse service to protect yourself and the establishment legally

    Documenting every refusal creates a record that demonstrates due diligence, which can protect the server and establishment in legal proceedings.
