Every location relies on a firm valid photo ID check before permitting guests past the velvet ropes during evening shifts. Bouncers use electronic optical scanners to detect counterfeit credentials, expired licenses, and tampered documents. If a credential cannot scan or shows signs of delamination, staff turn the holder away immediately.
Acceptable forms of identification are limited to standard government-issued formats: unexpired state driver's licenses, state ID cards, official military identification, and valid passports. Temporary paper driver permits generally require a secondary matching photo card, depending on state alcohol service laws. Underage college students frequently assume university IDs or digital photos of passports grant entry; house policy strictly forbids non-government or mobile-screen credentials.
