Which item is collected at Step 5 of the 8-step Method?

• A. Personal ID
• B. Visitors pass or program card
• C. Clothing description
• D. Location details

Answer: (A)

Collecting personal ID at this step focuses on confirming exactly who the person is. Verifying identity with a government or school ID creates a solid, traceable record that the person is authorized to enter, which is essential for safety and accountability. Once identity is established, you can move forward with the next procedures, such as issuing or validating a visit credential if needed. The other items fit different roles: a visitors pass or program card is a credential used after identity is confirmed; a clothing description is a descriptive aid for recognition but not a definitive identifier; location details are about where the person is or where they entered, not about confirming who they are.
