Which check is used to confirm the legal status and identity of a passenger via a government-issued document?

• A. No unit available
• B. Driver licence check
• C. TECS lane check
• D. Firearms check

Answer: (B)

Verifying identity and legal status relies on inspecting a government-issued photo ID. A driver license check is the standard way to confirm who a person says they are and whether their status is valid because the license is issued by a government authority, carries a photo, and can be checked for validity (not suspended or revoked). Running this check verifies the document’s authenticity, expiration, and that the person presenting it matches the record, providing a reliable basis for determining admissibility or eligibility. Other options serve different purposes: TECS lane checks pull risk-related information from enforcement databases rather than directly validating the presented document; firearms checks assess whether the individual may legally possess firearms; and a non-functioning option isn’t a valid procedure.
