Do Alcohol Awareness Cards need photos on them? +
No. The law update that took place in 2007 removed the photo requirement. Alcohol and TAM Cards only are required by law to have the person’s name, issue date, and expiration date.
Why does TAM of Nevada put photos on their cards? +
One word: Marketing
TAM Cards (printed at TAM of Nevada on Paradise Road) have photos of the card holder on them as a marketing ploy to make it seem as though the card you receive has some type of value as a photo ID. Nevada law does not require TAM Cards have photos and they cannot be used as identification.
Do I have to take a written test to get my card? +
Yes. Nevada law requires that after watching the online safety video, cards be picked up in person and may only be issued after taking a written test and scoring a 75%. Online testing is not permitted and cards cannot be mailed.
How much does the entire Alcohol Awareness Process cost? +
$25 total.
What is the youngest age I can get my card? +
Nevada law does not set a minimum age to complete alcohol awareness training. However, in order to serve or sell open alcohol a person must be 21 years of age. Minors age 16-17 may work in retail food stores as cashiers and sell packaged/sealed alcohol if supervised by an 18+ year old. Minors 18+ may work in retail food stores as cashiers and sell packaged/sealed alcohol without supervision.
