Donor Identification

Acceptable forms of identification

One of the most important aspects of a urine drug screen collection is the correct identification of the donor. It is the responsibility of the donor to provide the collector appropriate identification upon arrival at the collection site.

Acceptable forms of identification include:

  1. A photo identification such as a driver's license, an employee badge, or any other picture ID issued by either a federal, state, or local government agency.
  2. Identification made by an employer or a representative of the employer. In this latter case, the employer or employer representative can describe the donor to the suitability of the collector via a phone call.
