Why Does Cricket Require an ID?
Cricket takes your security seriously. When you walk into a Cricket store, the staff might ask for your ID to ensure that they’re really talking to the account holder or an authorized user. This step helps to protect your personal information and keeps your account safe from unauthorized changes.

When you provide your ID at Cricket, they primarily check that the name on your ID matches the name they have in their system. This helps to verify your identity effectively.
