What Physical ID Do You Need for Weed Delivery in Los Angeles?

For weed delivery in Los Angeles, you need a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID. This is non-negotiable—drivers must verify your age and identity in person.

  1. Check your ID – Make sure it's not expired and that the photo and name match your order.
  2. Keep it accessible – Have it in your hand or on a table near the door so you don't fumble when the driver arrives.
  3. Match your order – The name on your ID must match the name on the order. If you're ordering for someone else, they need to be present with their own ID.
  4. Be ready to hand it over – The driver will physically inspect the ID, not just glance at it. They may hold it up to check for tampering.
  5. If you're unsure, ask ahead – Call Honor Roll Delivery at (626) 888-8098 if you have questions about what's accepted.

Can You Show a Photo of Your ID on Your Phone for Weed Delivery?

No, a photo of your ID on your phone is not accepted for weed delivery. Drivers must see the physical card to verify its authenticity and expiration date. Relying on a photo will likely result in your order being canceled.

A good fit if…

  • You have your physical ID with you – You'll have no issues.
  • You're ordering for yourself – The name on the ID matches the order.

Consider another option if…

  • You only have a digital copy – You'll need to get your physical ID before ordering.
  • You're ordering for a friend – They'll need to be present with their own physical ID.

If you're in a pinch, you can always order from a dispensary that offers in-store pickup, but for delivery, physical ID is the only way. For more on what to expect, check out our guide on using your phone ID at a dispensary.

Risks of Using a Digital ID for Weed Delivery

Using a digital ID for weed delivery carries several risks. First, the driver will likely refuse the order, wasting your time and possibly incurring a canceled-order fee. Second, if you attempt to use a digital ID that appears altered, the driver may report it to the California Department of Motor Vehicles or local authorities, though this is rare.

More importantly, California law requires a physical ID for age verification. Digital IDs are not considered valid for this purpose, even if they're from a trusted source like the DMV's mobile app. The Los Angeles City Cannabis Regulatory Commission enforces these rules, and delivery services must comply or risk their license.

To avoid any issues, always have your physical ID ready. If you have questions about our delivery process, contact us—we're happy to help.
