Coming into a Pawn Shop, Do I need identification?

No reputable pawnbroker will accept an item without proper identification

The state requires us to use only a state issued drivers license or state photo ID card as identification each time a customer sells or pawns an item. We also accept US and International Passports and Matrícula Consular id cards. We may know you personally, but that does not exclude you from showing your identification at the time the transaction is made. We are required to check for updated information on every transaction. A complete description of the customer and all items received by a pawnbroker must be reported to the police, who compare pawned and sold property to their burglary, robbery and theft reports. This reduces the chances of a pawnshop receiving stolen property.

Every transaction requires proper identification and in most cities the pawnshops are required to report daily to the local police department the serial numbers and descriptions of every item pawned or purchased. This makes the neighborhood pawnshop a poor choice for burglars as a place to sell their stolen items. The few stolen items taken in by pawnbrokers are often noted by the police and can eventually be returned to the rightful owner. Since pawnbrokers require identification it is not hard for the police to track down the burglar.
