Purchasing Beer Via Doordash: A Step-By-Step Guide

DoorDash is a convenient way to get beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages delivered to your door. The food delivery app offers a two-step verification process to ensure alcohol is being delivered safely to adults of the legal drinking age. The process is simple: first, customers upload a picture of their ID when placing an order containing alcohol. Then, upon arrival, the delivery driver will scan the customer's ID to verify their identity and check for signs of intoxication. This process helps ensure compliance with local laws and regulations regarding alcohol delivery. It's important to note that alcohol delivery through DoorDash is only available in select locations, and customers must be of legal drinking age to purchase and consume alcohol responsibly.

How to verify your age when buying beer on DoorDash

To verify your age when buying beer on DoorDash, you must be a drinking-age customer. The process is similar to ordering food through the app, but with additional steps to verify your ID and age before purchasing.

Firstly, open the DoorDash app. If you're in an area with alcohol delivery, you'll be able to toggle the alcohol tab to order from restaurants, grocery stores, local retailers, and convenience stores. Add items to your order as you normally would.

Before completing your DoorDash order, the app will ask you to verify your age by uploading a picture of your ID. This is a one-time process that you won't have to do again for your next alcohol order. Only the photo on your ID and your birth date will be visible to the person delivering your order. The rest of the information will be blurred, and once the order is complete, the deliverer will no longer have access to your ID.

In addition to verifying your ID at checkout, the company's two-step verification process requires the deliverer to scan the front of your ID at your door before handing you the order. This is to ensure that alcohol is delivered to customers of legal drinking age. After verifying your identity and checking for any signs of intoxication, the delivery may be completed.

Please note that by law, Dashers cannot deliver an order containing alcohol if the customer is underage in that jurisdiction, if the customer ID is expired, the ID photo doesn't match the customer, or the customer appears to be intoxicated.

How to upload a picture of your ID when buying beer on DoorDash
