Detecting Fake IDs

Fake identification can take various forms, including:

False ID: manufactured or computer generated
Altered ID: valid identification that is altered to change critical information
Borrowed ID: valid identification used by another person
If you are unsure whether an ID is valid, do not sell alcoholic beverages. One technique is to compare the ID to a secondary form of identification. Examples may include a credit card, social security card, student ID, and a fishing or hunting license. Be careful when accepting any ID as a second form to ensure that the second form of ID is valid. Hold them both together and compare to see if they match.
