Drivers Licenses
Instruct your employees to compare photos on the license with the check writers real appearance. Hair color and weight can always change, but ones sex and race are generally easy to determine. Age, which can be determined from the birth date, is also an important identification factor. Is the Drivers License address the same as the address on the check? If not, verify and record the correct address. Is the Drivers License current and valid? Do not accept an expired license as valid identification.
Work Cards (Gaming or Non-Gaming)
Work Cards contain photographs, and the fingerprints of the person with the card are on file. Therefore, this is adequate identification for the Bad Check Unit if the work card number is written on the check and the photograph has been checked against the person handing you the check. Making a copy of the ID would be very useful.
Passports
Passports are good ID for those from non-United States residents if the check is written on a Nevada bank account. Some visitors come to Las Vegas so often that they set up local bank accounts.
Nevada State I.D. Cards
These also contain photographs, but are easily attainable. They should never be relied upon as the sole means of identifying a check writer.
