Drivers license

Hmm..yesterday, on the talk radio station I listen to, they were discussing the new drivers license proposal.

They were saying that when going to either renew or apply for a new license, one had to show four forms of ID. One would need a certified birth certificate, the social security card, another form of picture ID and a piece of mail such as a utility bill that can verify residency. After one submits this info to the BMV, they will process your license in four days. All of your information will be put into a national database and your background will be checked. It was said that this is in response to 9-11.

They were also discussing the huge amount of money that it will cost to implement such policy. From what I heard, no funds will be given to the states to assist in this new policy.

Has anyone else heard of this and can you give a linky? I am not good at googling.

not sure, but each state's DMV procedures and driving laws are somewhat different.

From what I gather, they won't be. All states will have to comply with the federal law.

So what do I as a 16 year old do for a proof of residency.

Not drive.

There isn't enough political will by either side to make this happen. Worse that'll happen is proof of citizenship and a billing statement.

Well, I work in a library. When someone doesn't have a piece of mail with a recent postmark (to demonstrate a valid mailing address), we tell them to send a letter to themselves.

Or grab a report card. That'd be addressed to you.

I'm happy I live up here in Canada. Another form of Big Brother imo.

So if this passes, illegal immigrants will need four fake IDs instead of two or three? That sounds like a pretty ineffectual solution to a problem that likely doesn't exist.
