Vertical driver’s licenses no longer OK for alcohol purchases
Anyone who produces a vertical driver’s license for age verification can no longer purchase alcohol in Arizona, regardless of whether the holder is 21. Senate Bill 1397, passed during this year’s legislative session and signed by the governor in late April, amends state statute to say identification issued to a person when they are younger than 21 is no longer acceptable for alcohol purchases after a 30-day grace period once the person turns 21. This applies to driver’s licenses and all other state-issued identification cards.
The bill went into effect Thursday. The change is intended to discourage those who obtain a new, horizontal driver’s license after turning 21 from passing on their still-valid vertical licenses to someone who is underage and might use it to purchase alcohol or get into bars.
