Which feature is added to a California issued ID to indicate the holder is under 21 years of age?

  1. Horizontal format

  2. Vertical format

  3. Color coding

  4. Watermarking

The correct answer is: Vertical format

In California, a key feature of IDs issued to individuals under 21 years of age is the vertical format. This distinctive design choice allows for quick visual identification of the holder's age by law enforcement and retailers, thereby ensuring compliance with laws regarding the sale and consumption of alcohol. The vertical layout clearly signifies that the individual is under the legal drinking age of 21. Other features, such as color coding and watermarking, may serve various purposes for ID verification or security, but they do not specifically indicate the age of the holder in the same way that the vertical format does. Horizontal formats, on the other hand, are typically used for individuals who are 21 and over, reinforcing the distinction between those who can legally purchase alcohol and those who cannot.
