The quality of such photograph shall be sufficient readily to identify the person depicted. In lieu of the photograph of the person selling or delivering the merchandise, the dealer may obtain either a thumbprint of such person, the quality of which thumbprint shall be sufficient to identify the person, or a photocopy of the person's Louisiana driver's license, driver's license from another state, passport, military identification, or identification issued by a governmental agency or the United States Postal Service. Each photograph, thumbprint, or photocopy, as the case may be, shall be cross-referenced with the ledger entry required by R.S. 37:1864.
