If you suspect someone is using someone else’s ID, what should you do?

• A. Accept the ID because it looks real.
• B. Serve and monitor.
• C. Ask for another ID.
• D. Do not rely on that assumption; refuse service until a valid ID is presented; involve a supervisor if uncertainty remains.

Answer: (D)

Suspecting someone is using another person’s ID means you must verify the ID and not rely on assumptions or appearances. The correct approach is to refuse service until a valid ID is presented and you can confirm the person’s age, and if there’s still doubt, involve a supervisor to help verify authenticity. This protects the minor from underage access and shields the business from liability. Accepting an ID because it looks real, or simply monitoring without refusing, can still allow illegal service. Asking for another ID without addressing the suspicion isn’t sufficient when you’re unsure about the ID’s validity; the safest, policy-aligned step is to wait for a valid, verifiable ID and escalate when needed.
