Frequently asked questions
Who Pays the Fee?
The Safe Communities Vendor ID® fee is paid annually by the vendor. Vendors consider this fee "the cost of doing business", in order to work in a participating community.
Do vendors pass-on the cost of the ID to the resident?
The entire program has many benefits to the vendor and no costs should be "passed-on". Noncompliance may indicate vendors abilty to meet the criteria.
Will we lose undocumented workers?
No, Safe Communities does not check immigration status or require an I-9.
Will we lose vendors?
A survey of our community partners indicated that they have not lost any vendors due to the program being implemented.
Each Vendor Receives A Unique Barcode and QR Code
Every Digital ID displays a unique Barcode and QR code. These codes, combined with the vendor photo, ensure vendor identity and expedites check-in times.
