If you can buy a booze with such an ID, why can't you comply with 2257? Please read the law. There is no mention on some special US ID's in 18 US Code § 2257.

I have read the law. And, USC 2257 is only PART of what you need to know. In fact, the link that you included shows EXACTLY what I mean.
Near the top of that page is a tab that says "Authorities (CFR)". That is the Code of Federal Regulations that pertain to USC 2257. Click that tab and you will see all of the CFR's that need to be observed. There is only one listed: 28 CFR Part 75
From there, observe 28 CFR 75.2, which outlines the "Maintenance of Records".
§ 75.2 Maintenance of records, says in part, that a "picture identification card" must be presented by the model.
§ 75.1 Definitions, defines exactly what a "picture identification card" is, as it pertains to USC 2257 and 28 CFR Part 75:
Quote:

(b) Picture identification card means a document issued by the United States, a State government, or a political subdivision thereof, or a United States territory, that bears the photograph, the name of the individual identified, and the date of birth of that individual, and provides specific information sufficient for the issuing authority to confirm its validity, such as a passport, Permanent Resident Card (commonly known as a ?Green Card?), or employment authorization document issued by the United States, a driver's license or other form of identification issued by a State or the District of Columbia; or a foreign government-issued equivalent of any of the documents listed above when the person who is the subject of the picture identification card is a non-U.S. citizen located outside the United States at the time of original production and the producer maintaining the required records, whether a U.S. citizen or non-U.S. citizen, is located outside the United States on the original production date. The picture identification card must be valid as of the original production date.
|
To paraphrase, you must use a document issued by the United States (or one of it's states). The only way you can present a foreign government issued ID is if the model is a non-US citizen located OUTSIDE of the US during production AND the producer is located OUTSIDE of the US during production.
Now, you can interpret that any way you'd like, but it's pretty clear to me.
