Category - Checking ID

A patron is trying to show you his or her driver license on a smart phone instead of giving over a physical card version of it. What do you do?
  1. Ask for the physical card instead and tell him or her you will only accept that.
  2. Ask for the physical card, but if he or she does not have it take a closer look at the phone copy.
  3. Ask to hold his or her phone and look over the license image carefully.
  4. Make sure everyone else he or she is with is over 21.
Explanation
Answer: A - Instead of accepting the phone copy of the driver license, you should ask for the physical card instead.

Displaying driver licenses on phones may become acceptable in the near future, but that future just isn’t here yet. Some states are already looking into it for highway and road patrol purposes, but that doesn’t mean it will become acceptable in bars and restaurants any time soon. Until there are ways to ensure that the ID displayed on the phone is definitely not a fake, only accept the standard, physical version of ID cards for now.
