CityKey is a 3-in-1 card serving as a government-issued ID, Ventra card and library card all in one.

The CityKey is an acceptable form of identification for liquor licensees (bars, restaurants, packaged goods store) to verify proof of legal age to purchase alcohol. Additionally, it would be an acceptable proof of identification for those purchasing tobacco products.
