Question 2

Which of the following is an acceptable form of government-issued photo ID for age verification in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Ontario driver's licence

Question 3

Under the 'Challenge 25' policy, a server should ask for ID from any customer who appears to be under what age?

Accepted Answer

25 years old

Answer

The Challenge 25 policy instructs servers to ask for ID from anyone who appears under 25, providing a safety buffer above the legal drinking age of 19.

Question 4

What should you do if a customer presents an ID that appears to have been altered or tampered with?

Accepted Answer

Refuse service and return the ID to the customer

Answer

You must refuse service and return the ID, as you cannot verify its authenticity and serving based on a suspicious document does not protect you from liability.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT an acceptable form of ID for age verification in Ontario licensed establishments?

Accepted Answer

Ontario health card

Answer

Ontario health cards are not acceptable for age verification because they were not designed as identity documents and do not meet the required standards for proof of age.
