What is included in recommended procedures for checking IDs?

  1. Asking for a second photo ID

  2. Only checking the front of the ID

  3. Using a barcode scanner only

  4. Physically holding the ID and checking for security features

The correct answer is: Physically holding the ID and checking for security features

Recommended procedures for checking IDs include physically holding the ID and checking for security features. This is because checking for security features, such as holograms or other unique markings, is important in verifying the authenticity of an ID. Option A, asking for a second photo ID, may be a good extra precaution but it is not always necessary or practical. Option B, only checking the front of the ID, may not reveal any security features that may be present on the back. Option C, using a barcode scanner only, may not catch all security features as some IDs may not have barcodes or may have easily replicable barcodes. Thus, option D is the most comprehensive and recommended procedure for checking IDs.
