I normally tell them a D.L. and S.S.C. (mainly so I have their SSN for their 1099 at year's end if they are over $600), however a lot of them do not seem to carry or have a SSC on them, so I will take a secondary I.D. like a college I.D., birth cert., or something of that matter. Something hard enough for someone to fake, or that can prove who they say they are.
Now, back to what they are saying. The reason you should consult a lawyer is because of more than the I.D. issue. You also need them signing a model release, and THAT should be done/approved by a lawyer to cover your ass when working with 'talent'.

Thank you very much. ;) That was the response I was looking for. Instead of assuming things, people should ask what I am using the images for. #1 is not for a content production business, or any type of business for that matter........ I simply wanted to know the answer to that question since it was bought up during an IM conversation with an associate.
