TAM Card ID Verification Procedures 3

Question 1

What does a vertical orientation on a Nevada driver's license indicate?

Accepted Answer

The holder is under 21 years old

Answer

Nevada issues vertically oriented licenses to individuals under 21, making it immediately visually apparent that the holder may not be of legal drinking age.

Question 2

Is an expired government-issued ID acceptable for age verification in Nevada?

Accepted Answer

No, expired IDs are not acceptable for alcohol purchase verification

Answer

An expired ID is not considered valid for age verification purposes in Nevada, as it may no longer accurately represent the holder.

Question 3

What should a server do if a patron refuses to show ID when asked?

Accepted Answer

Refuse alcohol service politely

Answer

If a patron will not provide valid identification, the server must refuse alcohol service regardless of the patron's apparent age.

Question 4

When checking an out-of-state ID, what additional scrutiny should a server apply?

Accepted Answer

Be extra careful examining security features and consider using an ID checking guide

Answer

Out-of-state IDs require additional scrutiny because servers may be less familiar with their security features, making fakes harder to detect.

Question 5

What is the server's liability if they serve a minor who used a convincing fake ID?

Accepted Answer

The server may still face liability, but demonstrating they followed proper verification procedures is a defense

Answer

While servers can face liability for serving minors, demonstrating that they followed reasonable ID verification procedures as taught in TAM training provides an affirmative defense.
