Will bars take paper ids?
Most bars will accept paper IDs as long as a photo ID accompanies the temporary paper document. Temporary licenses help mark the occasion when a young person reaches their 21st birthday, becoming a legal adult, giving them privileges denied to this point.
Any form of government issued photo identification (passports, state-issued ID cards, immigration cards,ext) are valid enough for the purchase of alcohol.
In Nashville, bars and other establishments like restaurants are required to check the identification of anyone who appears to be under the age of 30 to make sure they are of legal drinking age. Generally, bars will accept a paper ID if it looks genuine and includes a photograph.
Can an Establishment or Server accept a Temporary State issued Driver's License or ID when making and Alcohol Sale? Yes, you can, as long as the old vertical ID is present with the temporary horizontal ID when the alcohol sale is completed.
Any government issued identification is acceptable for a medical patient to use for access to a medical cannabis dispensary including: Illinois Driver's License, Illinois Temporary Visitor Driver's License or State Identification Card issued by the Illinois Secretary of State.
A: Acceptable ID's include the following: A valid current driver's license or photo ID card issued by the Illinois Secretary of State's Office or any other State; a valid Armed Forces ID; and a valid U.S. passport or foreign passport (with U.S. travel visa) containing the holder's photograph.

As a rule, no. The usual printed requirements, “current valid identification” - now that can be a drivers license, visa, or similar so long as it has a picture and the other usual info.
Bar Codes
Simply scan the ID. The bar code scanner will detect whether the ID is valid or not. This is very helpful, but it doesn't tell you whether or not the person standing before you is the same person identified on the ID. Use additional means of verifying the validity of the ID.
Register. The registration process for State of Illinois Digital IDs begins here for all users, both Illinois residents and out-of-state users.
Can I use my vertical ID to buy alcohol in Illinois?
If the customer does not have an ID - then don't sell. The Illinois driver's license and state ID formats make the determination of a customter's age relatively easy. If an ID has a vertical orientation it means the individual is considered a minor for alcohol and/or tobacco.
Step one in this question is to make sure the ID someone is handling you is a legally acceptable ID. For example, a university ID should never be accepted. Currently the only ID accepted with out a physical description is a military ID. All other forms that do not include a physical description CAN NOT be accepted.
Valid Illinois DL/IDs will be accepted by the TSA to board domestic flights until May 7, 2025. After that date, you must have a REAL ID DL/ID, U.S. passport or passport card, military ID or other federally approved document to board domestic flights.
