Costco will only verify your photo ID if you didn’t have a picture taken when signing up for membership. Otherwise, you’ll simply need to scan your card upon entering the store. This change will prevent non-members from shopping and remove the need to scan at checkout. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2024/08/07/costco-membership-cards-scanners/74704272007/
