What detail must be present on a valid ID to prove it belongs to the individual?

  1. The state where it was issued

  2. A digital fingerprint

  3. The owner's photo

  4. The date of issue

The correct answer is: The owner's photo

A valid ID must include the owner's photo as a crucial element for identity verification. This photo serves as a direct visual reference that allows staff to confirm that the person presenting the ID matches the image. When verifying identification, especially in settings involving the sale of alcohol, it’s essential to ensure that the person being served is indeed the individual to whom the ID belongs. Including a photo helps prevent impersonation and ensures compliance with age-restriction laws. While other details like the state where it was issued, a digital fingerprint, or the date of issue may support the validity of an ID, the owner’s photo is the most direct and effective method for verifying personal identity.
