How To Check ID Card Status?

Do a 16 year old needs an id to use a check/debit card??HELP!?

• I want a check/debit card when I turn 16..but I want to know if every time I use it I will need to show a kind of id..or would it be better if I get the debit card with my picture on it..or they won't ask me for an id at all.(like at clothing stores, restaurant, McDonald's,etc) my friend who's already 16 told me that she needs to show her id when she uses hers.. thank you

• Answer:

  I agree with Reena, I work at a bank and I know that no matter what your age you will be asked for ID at merchants, not every merchant ask for ID. As a matter of fact if your transactions are 25 dollars or less sometimes you don't even have to sign depending on the bank you bank with. You can get this feature by getting fast pass on your card. Also if you get your picture on your card and you do get ID student ID should be ok, honestly it depends on the merchant, Example MCDonalds. I have never been ID there. But Walmart, I always get ID there. Good luck
