An individual presents an out-of-province (e.g., Quebec) driver's licence as ID. The licence has a holographic overlay and other security features you recognize. However, the photo on the ID seems significantly older than the person standing before you. What is your most reasonable course of action?

Question: An individual presents an out-of-province (e.g., Quebec) driver's licence as ID. The licence has a holographic overlay and other security features you recognize. However, the photo on the ID seems significantly older than the person standing before you. What is your most reasonable course of action?

Answer options:

• Accept the ID, as out-of-province driver's licences with security features are generally valid.
• Refuse service and confiscate the ID, as discrepancies suggest forgery. ✅ Request another piece of valid government-issued photo ID to corroborate the identity and age.
• Serve the patron, but ask them why the photo looks so different.

Correct answer: Request another piece of valid government-issued photo ID to corroborate the identity and age.

Explanation: While out-of-province driver's licences are valid forms of ID, any significant discrepancy, like an outdated photo, raises reasonable doubt about the patron's identity and age. The most reasonable course is to request a secondary piece of valid government-issued photo ID. This helps to confirm identity without immediately accusing the patron of fraud. Refusing and confiscating the ID might be premature, as the person could genuinely have an old photo. Simply accepting it or serving them without further verification is negligent.
