Correct Answer
A. A single current government ID meeting the listed features
Detailed Explanation
Physical appearance still needs statutory identity verification. 19 NYCRR §182.5(b)(1) allows a current government-issued ID if it is valid, current, has the bearer’s photo, an accurate physical description if applicable, and the bearer’s signature. Unlike remote appearance, credential analysis alone is not the full physical-appearance rule.
