What identification is required by law from anyone appearing under 19 in British Columbia's licensed establishments?

In British Columbia, the law mandates that individuals who appear to be under 19 years old must provide two pieces of identification when being served in licensed establishments. This policy is in place to effectively verify the age of the individuals and ensure compliance with age restrictions related to alcohol consumption.

One of these pieces of identification must contain a photo to establish a clear link to the individual. This could include documents such as a driver's license or a government-issued ID card that features a photograph. The requirement for two pieces of ID serves as an additional precaution to prevent underage drinking and maintain responsible serving practices within the province.

This identification policy reflects the commitment to uphold legal drinking age regulations while ensuring that establishments can operate safely and responsibly.
