About 11,000 people in Alice Springs and Katherine will need to obtain other forms of identification to buy alcohol later this year. Some residents in the towns now use Tangentyere identification or other cards to meet a photo ID requirement. The Northern Territory Government is changing its ID scanner system and will only accept driving licences, proof-of-age cards and passports.
