What must be done to verify borrowed IDs?

Obtaining a signature and comparing it to what is on the ID is a crucial step in verifying borrowed IDs. This process adds a layer of security by ensuring that the person presenting the ID is indeed the rightful owner. By comparing the signature on the ID to the signature provided by the individual, you can assess whether they match, which can help indicate whether the ID has been borrowed or is being misused.

In addition to signature verification, checking aspects such as the expiration date and examining the picture are also important practices when verifying an ID. However, these alone do not provide the same level of assurance regarding ownership. Asking for the ID owner's phone number can offer additional confirmation, but it is less direct and not as effective as signature comparison, which directly links the document to its legitimate holder. Therefore, focusing on the signature provides a more definitive method of validation when borrowing IDs.
