Can you scan an ID in Mississippi?

Mississippi law does not regulate a business’s practice of scanning IDs or retaining information obtained from a scan.

Overview of Mississippi ID Scanning Laws

In the absence of any statute governing issues associated with a business’s practice of scanning IDs, a business is likely allowed to scan IDs and to retain information obtained from a scan, subject to applicable privacy laws.

Does Mississippi offer affirmative defense for ID scanning?

No.

Mississippi Code. Title 67-1-81 – Sales to minors prohibited.

Any person under the age of twenty-one (21) who knowingly makes a false statement to the effect that he or she is twenty-one (21) years old or older or presents any document that indicates he or she is twenty-one (21) years of age or older for the purpose of purchasing alcoholic beverages from any person engaged in the sale of alcoholic beverages shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than Two Hundred Dollars ($ 200.00) nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($ 500.00), and a sentence to not more than thirty (30) days’ community service.

Mississippi House Bill 227. Mississippi Tobacco Minimum Legal Age of 21 Act

SECTION 5. Age verification. Before distributing any tobacco product, the distributor must verify that the recipient is at least twenty-one (21) years of age. Each distributor shall examine the recipient’s government-issued photographic identification. No such verification is required for a person over the age of thirty (30). The fact that a recipient appeared to be thirty (30) years of age or older does not constitute a defense to a violation of this section.

Mississippi House Bill 73. Prohibition of Using Embedded Technology in Self-Checkout Terminals to Scan IDs

This bill would prohibit certain retailers and establishments from using embedded technology programs in self-checkout terminals or self-service checkouts to scan information on a consumer’s driver’s license in order to verify the age of the person trying to purchase certain items. It would require the age verification to be performed by an employee of the establishment in order to complete the purchase.
