Non-mandatory ID Under 25 poster

Asking for someone’s ID can make them happy or upset—and sometimes, it’s hard to tell if a patron is 18 years or older. To make sure your patron is of legal age, you must ask for an ID to verify the age of anyone who appears under the age of 25.

The ID-Under-25 poster can be displayed in your store to help clarify the under-25 ID policy. The poster is not mandatory.

There are two options available for you to choose from.
