You shold not have to show ID to use your DEBIT card. That is why you have a PIN number. However, each retailer has their own policy. They can refuse your business for any reason.

A Visa debit card depends on if you are using it as a credit or not. If you are just using it as a debit card, then the machine will prompt you to put in your pin and whola that is it.
If you have a Visa debit card that you are using for purchases at a store, may ask for id. In your state, can't you get a non driver's driver's license? In our state you can. (VA)
Are you in college or work where you have an id card? I would try to get some kind of id in case something happen to you. You would want to be identified. (robbery or assault & you can't speak) I am not being negative, just talking as a parent of a 18 yr old. You need something to carry to id yourself. Take Care

VISA's rules require that a merchant ask for ID if the back of the card is not signed. Some mechants require ID in any case to prevent fraud. You should at least get a state issued ID for just such an occasion.

As long as you sign the back of your card usually 99.9% of the time they never ask for an ID. Now 'a' days with identity theft it's a good idea to write on the signature part for them to check for an ID. If you don't have one yet just use your school ID!

most businesses require a picture I.D when using a credit or debit card. It is for there safety as well as yours. To make sure the name is correct and the picture on the I.D. is of the one prsenting it. If they want to check mine, i dont mind, to me it says they care. It mostly comes down to the person behind the desk, if they really care or not or if they are too busy. you should look into getting a state I.D.

ok if you have a debit, tell the person to charge it as a credit. if its a debit and you tell them its a debit, they will charge you extra fees. your pin should not be mentioned during your payment. thats why its called pin.

If you look young enough, I think they are more likely to ask for a photo ID.

Depends on the store (and cashier). Some require it, but most don't.

No, it's like a credit card.
