Which form of ID is valid for age verification?

• A. A library card.
• B. A government-issued photo ID showing date of birth and validity.
• C. A student ID without photo.
• D. A handwritten note with name.

Answer: (B)

For age verification, you need a document that proves who you are and that you’re old enough, and it must be current. A government-issued photo ID fits best because it is officially issued by a government authority, includes your date of birth, and shows an expiration date. The photo helps staff confirm you are the same person named on the ID, and the expiration date confirms the ID is still valid at the time of verification.

Other options fail because they aren’t government-issued or don’t reliably prove age. A library card isn’t an official government document and may not include a date of birth or a current expiry. A student ID without a photo doesn’t provide a trustworthy identity or age indication. A handwritten note isn’t an official document and doesn’t verify identity or age, and it’s easy to alter or forge.

So, a government-issued photo ID that shows your date of birth and is valid is the appropriate form of ID for age verification.
