How to Check ID for Deliveries

Sherpa drivers need to check the recipient's ID for certain deliveries, such as:

  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco products
  • Specified recipient delivery
  • Age-restricted items (e.g., knives, spray paint)

Steps to Check an ID Effectively

  1. Verify the Name: Ensure the name on the ID matches the order unless the order specifies someone else can collect it.
  2. Check the Age: Make sure the recipient is over 18 years old.
  3. Inspect the ID for Tampering: Look for signs of fraudulent identification or any amendments to the date of birth on the ID. For digital ID, this will have a different process. Ensure the digital ID is legitimate and not a screenshot by requesting the recipient to refresh the image.

Important Reminders

  • In all states, ID checks are mandatory for all alcohol deliveries, regardless of the recipient’s age of appearance.
