SIRS (Saskatchewan) Exam Questions & Answers 2026 (21–30)

Question 1

What is the minimum legal age to be sold or served liquor in Saskatchewan?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

19. The legal drinking age in Saskatchewan is 19. It is illegal to sell or serve liquor to anyone under 19.

Question 2

When should a server ask a customer for identification?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Whenever the customer appears young or there is any doubt they are 19 or older. Best practice is to ask anyone who looks young, and any time there is doubt the customer is 19 or older.

Question 3

Which of the following is the best example of acceptable identification for proving age?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

A valid government-issued photo ID showing date of birth. Acceptable ID is valid, government-issued, and shows the person's photo and date of birth, such as a driver's licence or passport. Photocopies are not acceptable.

Question 4

A customer presents an ID where the photo does not look like them. What should the server do?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Not accept it as proof of age and decline service if age can't be confirmed. If the photo does not match the person, the ID does not prove their age. The server should decline to accept it and refuse service if valid ID cannot be shown.

Question 5

What should a server check when examining an ID?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

That it is valid/unexpired, the photo matches, and the date of birth confirms the person is 19+. A proper ID check confirms the document is genuine and current, the photo and physical description match the person, and the date of birth shows they are at least 19.

Question 6

A customer's ID looks valid but the server suspects it may be fake. What is the safest action?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Decline service if age cannot be reasonably confirmed. If a server cannot reasonably satisfy themselves that the person is of legal age, the safest and lawful choice is to refuse service. Serving a minor is a serious violation.

Question 7

Is it acceptable to serve liquor to a person who cannot produce any valid ID but 'looks well over 19'?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Only with reasonable grounds they are of age; best practice is to require ID when in doubt. The safe practice is to require valid ID whenever there is any doubt. When there is doubt about age, no ID means no service.

Question 8

Why should a server be cautious about IDs that appear altered or tampered with?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

An altered ID may be fake and does not reliably prove age. Signs of tampering such as peeling lamination, mismatched fonts, or altered dates suggest the ID may be fake, so it does not prove the person is of legal age.

Question 9

Who can be held responsible if a minor is served because a fake ID was accepted without proper checking?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

The server and the permittee can both face consequences. Accepting a fake ID without a reasonable check does not remove responsibility. Both the server and the permittee can face penalties for serving a minor.

Question 10

If two pieces of ID are requested, what is a sound approach?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Require at least one valid government-issued photo ID and use the second to support it. When asking for a second piece of ID, at least one should be valid government-issued photo identification. Digital photos of IDs are easily faked and should be treated with caution.
