A new bill, Oklahoma bill 1707, was proposed in February 2023 in Oklahoma, that would require ID scanning for alcohol delivery.

Key elements of Oklahoma Bill 1707

Shall obtain from the consumer a confirmation that he or she is at least twenty-one (21) years of age at the time the order is placed;

Shall require the recipient, at the time of delivery, to provide valid photo identification verifying he or she is at least twenty-one (21) years of age and sign for the delivery;

Shall possess identification scanning software technology or a state-of-the-art alternative at the point of delivery to authenticate that the recipient is at least twenty-one (21) years of age, and collect the recipient’s name and date of birth.

If the recipient of the alcohol delivery fails to complete the identity verification process, the alcohol must be returned to the retailer and cannot be delivered to the purchaser.
