I have a question about making a T.O.S (Term of Service)

Please let me know if this is off topic, but I need advice.

So, I am writing my Term of Service. One of the policy is the client must be 18 years or older in order do a commission (Both for adult and non adult theme). I really want to protect myself and client from legal issues. I am considering asking proof of ID, such like a driver license before I can accept thier commission.

My question, is asking proof of ID reasonable? Or will that be a privacy issue? Or am I breaking a fedral or state law that I may not be aware of?

Thanks!

We got a response (https://twitter.com/BoozyBadger/status/1067158766485950464), so it looks like anyone looking to do this would best consult with a local attorney.

Business wise I can't imagine a lot of folks are willing to give their ID over even if they are of legal age.

Yeah personally I would never give a picture of my ID to any artist I was buying from.
