What two pieces of information must a government-issued ID show for age verification?

• A. Date of birth and validity.
• B. Date of birth and expiration date.
• C. Name and address.
• D. Photo and expiration date.

Answer: (A)

To verify age, you need two things: the person’s date of birth to determine how old they are, and the ID’s current validity to ensure the document is acceptable for use right now. The birth date shows whether the person meets the age requirement, while the validity status confirms the ID isn’t expired and can be trusted as a proof of age. Even though a photo or a name might help confirm identity, they don’t by themselves establish whether the person is legally old enough. If the ID is expired, it can’t be used for age verification even if the birth date is visible.
