HELP PLEASE!!!
« on: August 27, 2008, 07:10:34 pm »
Help!  My brother (23) lost his ID, so he is going to the DMV tomorrow to get a replacement, but it takes over a week to mail the real id.  In the meantime, they give you this paper ID (it's black and white), and I don't know if they will accept this at the con  :'(

What should we do!?  What other forms of id will they accept?

it SHOULD work, it just might take some bitching and finding someone who has actually seen one.  i think they have only been doing that for a year or two and since most people who work the door dont also work at say...i dunno a bar or somewhere else you check ids all the time they might not be familiar with them.  my fiance and i had a similar problem before they sent us his new permit, we had to convince someone it was a real id, i dont remember where it was though.

If he has one (even one that's expired by a year or two), he might want to bring a school ID to check out games, since a paper ID might not please the game room staff.  I'll accept them personally since I know what they are, but I won't be working checkout much and can't guarantee that all the gaming staff will realise it isn't just a piece of paper.

It should be fine at registration.  However, he wont be able to attend 18+ or 21+ panels.

We don't go by badges for adult panels or sake tasting.  It's got to be state ID.  Other Directors may decide to overrule me on allowing a paper driver's license for the adult panels.  But, for the the sake tasting it's up the company bringing the drinks in and thier own liability.  We actually have no say one way or the other.

You can also use a passport or a driver's license or a school ID (If he's still in school, I dunno how old your bro is. Dx) or a military ID I think. Just any sort of ID with your face on it.

Thank you for all of the replies.  My brother is 23.  But it's too bad because I think he wanted to go to the speed dating panal which is 21+.  I guess I'm just thankful that he will be able to get in and get an adult pass (that way he doesn't have to leave the con at midnight).

The speed dating panel is 18+.  Have him come to it and we can look at his paper ID.. as long as it is a clear picture, I have no problem accepting it (it is a state ID).

So, for 18 years or older can you use your college ID or is that negatory? I have my passport around here somewhere but I'm not sure where exactly I put it.
EDIT:
Eh, nevermind. I found it.
