Didn't mean to stir the pot but...
The ALPA Jumpseat guide states
", captains have the responsibility to verify each jumpseater’s identity and authority to occupy a flight deck jumpseat. When a jumpseat request is made, whether for a seat in the cabin or in the flight deck, the PIC is responsible for performing the following procedures:
1. Verifying company ID by means of face/name match
2. Verifying FAA flight and medical certificates
3. Verifying Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) approval—if questions arise regarding an individual’s CASS approval, it is recommended that the gate agent recheck CASS while the PIC observes. "
Personally, I offer my plastic ID holder with ID, license and medical to the Capt on first meeting. Up to him after that.
I always appreciate the ride.

Might be old school but that's how I was taught.
Board unobtrusively. Ask FA if you can enter flight deck.
Make sure you're not interrupting a checklist or briefing.
Courteously ask for a ride; offer Captain ID, license, Medical & jumpseat form.
If you have to ride up front respect sterile cockpit.
Only pull out your Iphone/ipad/book/magazine if the crew does likewise.
And does it have to be said - no picture taking!

In fact, you should not just "inspect" the jumpseater's papers, but the FAA's as well. Make sure the number on their ID matches the number on their badge.
I always hand the Captain my license, medical, Company ID and jumpseat form before he/she has the chance to ask for it.
