What does the 'R' in U-CARD stand for when assessing ID?

The 'R' in U-CARD stands for 'Readable.' This is a critical aspect when assessing identification, particularly in the context of alcohol and cannabis sales. A readable ID is one that can be easily inspected and verified, ensuring that all pertinent information such as the individual's name, date of birth, and photo can be clearly seen without difficulty. This readability is essential for servers and sellers to accurately confirm the age and identity of the person presenting the ID, thus helping to comply with legal age restrictions.

In situations involving compliance with laws regarding the sale of alcohol and cannabis, verifying that the ID is readable is a vital step in the process. This helps prevent underage sales and contributes to overall responsible serving practices.
