What is an example of an illegal ID?

  1. Military ID

  2. State ID card

  3. Voter's Registration Card

  4. Passport

The correct answer is: Voter's Registration Card

A voter's registration card is considered an illegal ID for purchasing alcohol because it does not serve as an official form of identification that verifies age. While a voter's registration card can confirm that a person is registered to vote, it does not include features necessary for identifying individuals in contexts such as alcohol sales, which require government-issued identification that includes a photograph and specific details matching the individual's appearance. In contrast, military IDs, state ID cards, and passports are all valid forms of identification. These documents are government-issued, contain the holder's name, photo, and date of birth, thereby proving both identity and age, which is essential for legal alcohol transactions. Validating age is crucial in the responsible service of alcohol, and having recognized forms of ID is a fundamental part of ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
