Can you use your healthcard to get into a club?

Question

I'm going to a club downtown Toronto, but will a health card count as I.D.? (It has my picture and date of birth on it)

Answer 1

No because in clubs you have to be 18 or 21 and up to get in.

Answer 2

No way Jose, unless it is a really ghetto club or you are sleeping with the bouncer.

Answer 3

This may not apply to Canada, but in the US you're required to present government-issued ID.

Answer 4

I dont see why not.  It has all the pertinent information.

Answer 5

Your health card is government issued photo ID and should be OK,. My girlfriend often uses her health card as ID, it shouldn't be a problem, however if you look really really young, you might want to bring either a secondary piece of ID (birth cert, pasport etc) or just call and ask the club if a health card is OK.

Answer 6

In the states No.  Don't know much about north of the border.

Answer 7

No. it is actually illegal to use your health card for ANYTHING other than to secure medical services, which is why banks, etc. do not take it.

That said, who knows what some Neanderthal bouncer is going to say? He might accept it, he might not.

Answer 8

sure why not

Answer 9

You could but some bouncers just wont accept it since you shouldnt be showing your healthcard to anyone except you doctor

Answer 10

no. you need a state id or drivers license. nothing else counts. not even a social security card.

Answer 11

Answer 12
