TAM Card - Techniques of Alcohol Management Card ID Verification Procedures Questions and Answers 1

Question 1

A customer presents a Nevada Driver's Authorization Card (DAC) as proof of age to purchase alcohol. What is the correct action to take?

Accepted Answer

Refuse the sale, as a DAC is not a valid ID for purchasing alcohol.

Answer

According to Nevada law and TAM guidelines, a Driver's Authorization Card (DAC) explicitly states it is not valid for identification purposes and cannot be used to purchase alcohol. Servers must refuse the sale and request an acceptable form of ID.

Question 2

Which of the following is a critical security feature to check on a Nevada ID to verify its authenticity?

Accepted Answer

A ghost photo and raised lettering of the date of birth.

Answer

Newer Nevada IDs have several advanced security features. Key among these are a smaller, transparent 'ghost photo' of the holder, and a restated date of birth that has a raised, tactile feel, both of which are difficult to counterfeit.

Question 3

A customer's valid, unexpired driver's license from another state looks suspicious. The laminate appears to be peeling at the edge. What is the most appropriate next step?

Accepted Answer

Refuse the sale and return the ID to the customer.

Answer

While Nevada law does not prohibit licensees from confiscating false IDs, the recommended and safest procedure when you suspect an ID is altered or fake is to refuse the sale and hand the ID back. Confiscation can lead to confrontation. The primary responsibility is to prevent the illegal sale of alcohol.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT an acceptable form of identification for purchasing alcohol in Nevada?

Accepted Answer

A student ID from a major university with a photo and birthdate.

Answer

Acceptable forms of ID must be government-issued. While a student ID has a photo and may have a birthdate, it is not issued by a government agency and is therefore not a valid primary ID for alcohol purchases.

Question 5

A customer presents a valid driver's license that has a hole punched through the expiration date. They also present a temporary paper document from the DMV. How should you proceed?

Accepted Answer

Refuse the sale, as a punched ID is considered invalid for identification.

Answer

A hole punched into a driver's license renders it invalid for identification purposes. The temporary paper document issued by the DMV is also not considered a valid form of identification on its own. Therefore, the sale should be refused, and an alternative, valid ID should be requested.
