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

  1. A customer presents what appears to be a temporary paper driver's license issued by the DMV. What should you do?

    Answer: Accept it only if accompanied by a secondary photo ID

    Temporary paper licenses are legitimate but contain no photo, so requiring a secondary photo ID is the responsible practice to confirm identity.

  2. Under the TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) framework, what is the primary goal of checking IDs?

    Answer: To prevent service to minors and protect the establishment from liability

    The primary goal of ID checking under TIPS and similar programs is to prevent service to underage individuals and protect the server and establishment from legal liability.

  3. A customer presents a Real ID-compliant driver's license. What distinguishes a Real ID from a standard state ID?

    Answer: It features a star marking indicating it meets federal identity verification standards

    Real ID-compliant documents are marked with a star (gold or black) in the upper portion of the card, indicating they meet federal standards under the REAL ID Act.

  4. A customer claims they were already IDed at the door and should not need to show ID again at the bar. What should you do?

    Answer: Politely request their ID because you are personally responsible for every sale you make

    Each server is individually responsible for the sales they make; another staff member's verification does not transfer legal responsibility to you.

  5. Which of the following best describes 'apparent age' and when it applies in alcohol service?

    Answer: An informal judgment used when a customer appears to be well over the legal age and ID checking may be impractical

    Apparent age refers to a server's visual judgment when a patron appears significantly older than 21, though carding everyone is always the safest policy.

  6. A customer presents a valid ID but the signature on the ID does not match their signature on a credit card receipt. What does this indicate?

    Answer: A possible red flag that the ID may belong to someone else

    A significant signature mismatch is a red flag suggesting the ID may belong to another person, warranting additional scrutiny or refusal of service.

  7. What is the legal concept of 'dram shop liability' as it relates to age verification?

    Answer: The legal responsibility of a licensed establishment for harm caused by serving alcohol to minors or visibly intoxicated persons

    Dram shop laws hold licensed establishments civilly liable for injuries or damages caused by patrons they served irresponsibly, including serving minors.
