ACS has welcomed progress on a change in the law that would allow digital ID to be used for the sale of alcohol for the first time.
Digital ID has been growing and developing in recent years, with a number of providers offering solutions for retailers to support them with their responsibility to prevent underage sales. However, to date, digital ID solutions have not been permitted for use when approving the sale of alcohol.
