Your probation will not show up on your scan through customs, but if your probation officer does find out about this and you went without permission, then they can still hit you with a probation violation even if they gave you permission once before.

Generally, a standard commercial ID scanner used in a bar, nightclub, or liquor store in 2026 does not show your probation status. These devices are primarily designed to verify that an ID is authentic and that the holder is of legal age. They scan the 2D barcode on the back to check for encoded data that matches the front and to detect "fakes." They do not have a live link to the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) or local police databases. However, if your probation terms include a "No Alcohol" or "No Entry to Bars" clause, a police officer who scans your ID during a routine check or a "sting" operation will see your status immediately. Some specific high-security venues (like government buildings or certain casinos) may use more advanced systems that link to public records, but for a typical night out, the scanner is only checking your age.
