Question: A customer who appears to be 20 years old presents a Canadian Armed Forces Identification Card. Is this considered acceptable ID for purchasing alcohol in Ontario?

Answer options:

• No, because it does not explicitly state 'Driver's Licence' or 'Passport'. ✅ Yes, provided it includes a photo, name, and date of birth, and is current.
• No, because it is not issued by a provincial government.
• Yes, but only if accompanied by a secondary piece of ID.

Correct answer: Yes, provided it includes a photo, name, and date of birth, and is current.

Explanation: The AGCO accepts a Canadian Armed Forces Identification Card as valid ID for proving age, provided it meets the standard requirements: it must be government-issued, include a photo, the customer's name, and date of birth, and be current. While not a driver's licence or passport, it is a valid government-issued document (option B). Options A and C are incorrect as the specific issuing body or type of ID mentioned is not exhaustive. Option D is incorrect as a single valid piece of ID is sufficient.
