Confirming the Validity of a Customer’s ID

Spark drivers are required to confirm the customer is legally of age and able to accept an alcohol delivery. Customers must remove their valid photo ID from wallets, purses, etc., so it may be scanned by the Spark Driver app.

Helpful Information on Confirming Legitimacy of Customer IDs

  • Legitimate ID cards have smooth, uniform edges, while fake ID cards often have uneven edges and may have bumpy surfaces or glue marks.
  • There can be visual differences between the customer and the individual in the photo, but facial features like eye shape and color, nose and ear shape, or any special facial features like birthmarks or scars should be the same.
  • Physical characteristics such as weight, hair, and makeup change over time and do not require intense scrutiny.

How to Scan A Customers ID

  1. Confirm the default ID selection on the screen (usually Driver’s License) and tap Submit to activate the camera.
  2. Turn up your phone’s screen brightness to help the camera lens focus.
  3. Turn on the camera flashlight within the app if you are delivering at night or in low light.
  4. Postion the camera over the barcode located on the back of the customer’s driver’s license.
  5. Hold your phone close to the ID, then slowly pull the phone backward until the camera captures the barcode clearly.

Note: “If you’re having trouble scanning the ID, the information can be manually entered by pressing the keyboard icon in the top-right corner of the app. Passports and Military ID information cannot be scanned and must be entered manually
