Donors under age 19, donating at a high school must have proof of age. Without any of the previously listed forms of ID or proof of age is not present on the ID, the ID and date of birth of the high school student may be checked by the following:

• School officials determine the donor’s identity and date of birth from a list of potentially eligible donors (may use the yearbook to assist with the determination).
• Adult volunteers instructed on ID verification using a current yearbook picture and an additional piece of ID containing the donor’s name and age.
• A parent or legal guardian can provide a document with the donor’s legal name and verbally provide the name and age when the donor does not have ID due to age.
• High school students may not check identification on other high school students at high school blood drives.
