For someone without a driver's license, what type of ID is acceptable for purchasing a CV?

A state-issued non-driver's card is specifically designed to serve as an identification document for individuals who do not possess a driver's license. This card is typically issued by the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and carries the same weight as a driver's license in terms of verifying identity and age for various purposes, including purchasing products regulated by age, like a controlled substance or alcohol.

Using a state-issued non-driver's card ensures that the individual can legally prove their age and identity without having to hold a driver's license. This type of ID is widely accepted in many contexts where age verification is required.

Other forms of identification, while they can serve as proof of identity, may not always be accepted in all situations. For example, a voter's ID might only be valid for voting purposes, college ID may not sufficiently prove age since it could be issued to individuals under the legal age, and military ID, while robust, may not be as universally accepted in all retail environments as a state-issued identification document. Thus, the state-issued non-driver's card stands out as the most appropriate choice for someone without a driver's license seeking to make a purchase that requires identification.
