Does anyone know why you have to show an ID now to buy cough syrup?

If the item has pseudoephedrine in it, it has to be kept out of the customer's reach and you have to give ID and, usually, sign for it.  The drug mentioned is a big problem, especially in the Midwest, as it is used to make crystal methamphetamine, which has become a scourge.

None really, you just cannot buy them if you're underage. You can have someone else buy them for you and smoke them all you want. Although they are trying to change this, also trying to make Canada "cigarette free"... <insert laughter here>.

A lot depends on where.\n\nIn New Jersey we need to have several forms of id.. they use a point system and simply having a photo id is't enough anymore.\n\nMaybe:\n\nBirth Certificate\nMilitary Id\nMaybe a credit card or a bank card.\n\nI think Im going to have this problem in a few months.

Sorry, all banks are required by law to know their customers. That's why they don't allow online sign-up.

Not necessarily, but a utility invoice in your name was sufficient proof of residence. Did that really change and how do you proof your residence now?

That's a great question.  They did the same thing to me.  I even sent them multiple emails inquiring about the situation but never received a response.  I had the ID for several years and had never had a problem before.

No.  Bring an ID or utility bill "just in case".  But if you have voted before or have recently registered you don't need to show any form of ID.\n\nIf you haven't voted in a while you may be asked to provide your date of birth.

now adays you probably will need your government ID security badge to obtain any of that info.

You may have bought them and forgot or they somehow got your info and are billing you illigally.\n\nMake sure you don't give out your personal info if you don't know exactly what they are using it for.

There are two lines on the front for the purchaser to sign.\nOne should have been signed when he purchased them.  When the person presents one to you for payment, he must sign the second line in front of you, and his signature must match, the first line.  There is also a line where he can fill in the merchants name.  And a photo ID is a good ideal.

I am not sure about Michigan, but in Wisconsin (Your Neighbor ;-)), You do need a valid driver's license.  While a permit is valid with supervision of an adult, it is not a valid form of identification. It must have a photo on it.  \n\nIn Wal-Mart stores that sell tobacco a valid form of id would be a State issued Identification card, whether it would be a identification or driver's license, they also accept military ID's, and passports. (The training is general, and state regulations might stipulate different.)\n\nI would give a call or stop into your local police department and ask.  It never hurts just to ask to be sure.

Holy cow, how did any of you figure out what this question was?  \n\nJust to clarify for those who are reading, there is no "failure to ID" law in California, per se, and it would surprise me if any state does have such a law (not saying they don't, just saying it would surprise me).\n\nWe don't live in Russia, and there is no requirement for your to carry "your papers" as they might be there.\n\nThat said, there are times when you have to provide some kind of proof of ID (such as when you're driving or being cited for littering or whatever).  At least in my state, if the police are going to cite/arrest you, you have the obligation of proving who you are or not being released from custody until you do.\n\nA guy walking down the street, minding his own business and not breaking any laws?  Chances of him being arrested in California for not presenting ID upon request would be just about zero.\n\nI know you're in Idaho, and Lord knows every other state in the union is more conservative than California, but like I said...it would surprise me to learn that you had to identify yourself "just because."

no not illegal to do it you just can't use a photocopy as a valid form of ID.  usually places need copies along with other forms of ID for there records or when you get a job.  Although i never had a job ask for a Birth Certificate

The most common answer I've heard from people who don't have a form of ID is that it's just the "government's way to keep track of you."  To be quite honest, that's a pretty lame excuse to me.  You don't need to have an ID to be able to be found and kept track of.  I understand the need for an ID when voting, or for anything rather.  It protects your identity and doesn't allow others to do things in your name.  When showing an ID before voting, it ensures the people there that no one else is using your name to cast a ballot (i.e., people who want to vote more than once or people who aren't registered at all).  \n\nIDs are pretty necessary to do much of anything lately...open bank accounts, fly somewhere, even accepting new job positions in a lot of cases.  Most think of "Drivers License" when they hear ID, but you can have a state ID as well, which don't require tests or anything.  With so much identity theft going on in the world today, it's better to have an ID than to go without.
