  1. Under Ontario's Liquor Licence Act, what is the legal minimum age to purchase or consume alcohol?

    Answer: 19 years old

    The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19 years old. Servers must refuse service to anyone who appears to be under 19 and cannot produce valid ID.

  2. Which of the following is considered an acceptable primary form of photo ID for age verification in Ontario?

    Answer: A valid Ontario driver's licence

    A valid Ontario driver's licence is government-issued, contains a photo, date of birth, and signature, making it an acceptable primary ID. Non-government-issued cards are not sufficient on their own.

  3. What does the '30 and Under' guideline recommend servers do?

    Answer: Ask for ID from anyone who appears to be 30 or under

    The '30 and Under' guideline recommends asking for ID from anyone who appears to be 30 years of age or younger, to ensure you are not inadvertently serving a minor.

  4. When checking a customer's ID, which feature should you look for to confirm it is genuine?

    Answer: Security features such as holograms or UV markings

    Legitimate government-issued IDs contain security features such as holograms, UV-reactive ink, microprinting, and raised lettering. Checking these features helps detect fake or altered IDs.

  5. A customer presents an ID showing they were born on today's date 19 years ago. What should you do?

    Answer: Serve them because they turn 19 today

    Under Ontario law, a person is considered to have reached the age of majority (19) on their birthday. If today is their 19th birthday, they may legally be served alcohol.

  6. If you suspect an ID has been altered or tampered with, what is the correct course of action?

    Answer: Refuse service and politely return the ID to the customer

    If you suspect an ID is fake or altered, you should refuse service and politely return the ID. You are not legally authorised to confiscate it, but you must not serve the individual.
