If you do service work on other people's buildings you may be asked to swap your drivers license for a set of keys or a pass card. I can see the logic from the view of the guy handing out the keys but on the other hand, what if they lose your driver's license? You can't drive home or to your next service call. Your service vehicle is parked and unusable.

I'll accept swapping my OHIP ID but not my DL.

Anyone else?
 
I don't see it as an issue but I would just drive without the card if they lost it and apply for a new one and bill the customer.
 
there are some vendors that actually carry a spare set of dummy keys that they hand over for this purpose so they aren't giving up they're actual sets of keys.

I suppose you could do the same thing with an old/expired license? I don't imagine the people that collect them take any time to look at them?

If pulled over you get hit with fail to produce...

If you go to another call and they want your driver's license what then?

I resent turning my DL over to a security guard. You know, the ones that watch motorcycles being stolen and do nothing.
 
I have my apprentice give his DL.

I can only think of a couple of customers who actually hold on to them. Most just take down my info and hand it back.

Never had them lose my ID. But ive lost some of their pass cards.
 
That happened to a whole crew of us at Innovation Park in Hamilton. Told them to pound salt. They found a work around.
 
Could they make make a photo copy of it or write down the info?
 
They dont want the info or a copy, they want the actual license so you give back the keys. How do you suppose a security guard handing you keys and putting your license in a drawer is going to lose it? Some of you folks worry about some odd stuff.
 
Losing would not be my worry ... but in today's twisted digital world, I would not want anyone to hold any ID with my personal information without my presence.

Let's say there's a shift change during your presence on the premises. Security person #1 uses a different filing location for other people's stuff than #2 does, or maybe it's #2's first day at a new location and doesn't even know where they put these things.

Generally though, you can indeed go broke underestimating the incompetence of other people
 
is this your company? if not then i would be discussing other options with the boss
 
have fun with identity theft

get a fake key to your truck, put your name an a tag- give them the fake keys to hold on to--tell them you can't leave without your car keys right...problem solved
 
I just use something else.
