Does the ID info need to be in Western Alphabet to comply to 2257?

In the following thread:

...near the bottom Paul Markham2 states...

"Not sure about kick backs, but I do know that when we were in the Phillippines we could do anything so long as we paid the right people. But that does not get around 2257 and if the IDs are in Sanscript who knows what they say."

That tweaked my brain cells a bit. For you content providers more familiar with 2257, does a models ID need to be in the western alphabet in order to comply with 2257?

Meaning, even if the model is 18 or over, has an ID, and there is a photo and DOB on the ID, but it is in say Thai or Japanese, etc...is this non compliance with 2257?

Of course I understand this is *not* legal advise...looking for experienced opinions.

I would like my site to be very much compliant and I am trying to be PROactive rather than reactive on any potential issues.
