Hi, I am not sure for what is allowed or not allowed with regards to controlled substances pick up.
In CA, my understanding is the requirement is a government-issued identification card (either Driver's License or Passport).
What if the ID card is EXPIRED?
I can see from both sides of the argument. I've talked about with it coworkers but there still no consensus so I'm coming onto SDN to see if I can get better answers.
One side would say the ID is valid because the person picking up IS THE PERSON ON THE ID. However, if you were driving on the streets, you would be required by law to have an updated non-expired Driver's license. I don't see how this is any different for controlled substances pick up.
Of course, the other side would say, no the ID needs to be updated in order to be valid.
Have you ever refused anyone with an outdated Driver's license or passport ID for controlled substances?
Is the Board of Pharmacy black and white on this matter? "No, if the ID is expired." Or do they allow us to make exceptions for extenuating circumstances? AND IF YES, what are these particular instances that are allowed?
