Be a aware that when you use Uber delivery for alcohol drivers required to take picture of your DL / ID. Not all drivers are honest and trustworthy.

Anyone allowing to take digital copies of your DL /ID is just allowing your door open to the thief to come steal. The thief just need your ID and SSN to take control of your financial such as unemployment benefits, Income Taxes refund, Social Security and your personal data might be sold in the dark web!

In the State of California, any person who is over the age of 21 can buy alcohol just need to show DL/ID shows he or she is 21 or older but with Uber it is completely different. Uber driver takes photo of your DL/ ID when you use the app or web to order alcohol.
Uber states on the app and web:
“You must be 21 or older and have a valid government-issued photo ID verifying your name and age, and not be intoxicated, to receive alcohol.
Upon delivery, please be ready to show a valid government-issued photo ID.”
When the driver shows up, he / she required to take picture of your DL/ID other wise not allowed to drop off the alcohol, you can refuse for safety and privacy reasons but Uber will charge $15 for return alcohol fee. It is very important that once someone took photo of your ID, he or she can take screenshot from the Uber app or take another picture of the ID and save to the phone later can be used for anything they just need one more that is social security number since they know who you are and where you live your personal data is at risk.
Uber refused to correct this issue and failed to protect consumers.
State legislatures needs to pass a law to protect citizens and make it is illegal for Uber to allow all Uber derivers to copy / take picture consumers ID. State and federal government must stop Uber immediately this bad business practices putting consumers at risk getting Scam.
