And what else that requires an ID?

It is illegal to drive with ID.
ID isn't required for pharmacy and bank transaction in our state.
It probably should be!
I just bought a truck from a private seller and he never asked me to show ID.
Not quite the same. Although it's ironic when at the Dept of Justice building you are required to show your ID in order to get into the front door but elsewhere they don't require IDs for voting or registering. Got some real dumb people there nowadays.
It probably should be!
and.... none of these things is part of Constitution
That's assuming he knows what he's talking about.
I live in a tiny community- so tiny, that although I live ten miles outside of town, the post office will deliver mail addressed only by my name and zip code. I can go to the bank in my small town and cash a check without ID. But I can't go to another branch in a larger town and do the same thing.
that small town bank also refused to cash checks for my dad when he had dementia- even though my mother had not filed the proper paperwork yet and he did have valid I.D. If somebody had complained, they would have been in trouble, but nobody was going to complain- dad might have, if he'd known how, but being as he had dementia, he couldn't.
but in both cases, it's not that ID isn't required by law or by bank policy, it's that the local branch quietly ignored the rules, which I appreciate, because they knew me and my parents and didn't need ID to prove it.
I understand but I fail to see the problem when it comes to voting. It really just protects everyone and keeps them honest and it is so simple to get!
Check with Driver's license office for a State issue photo ID card for my daughter as she doesn't want a driver's license. I have to have her:
Social Security card
Birth Certificate (must be state issued, not hospital issued)
2 pieces of mail sent to our current address that are not catalogs or magazines.
A marriage license (if she were married).
Passport (if she had one)
Now, they would not accept her Social Security card as I never let her sign it. If I come back another day, then we get to wait in line all over again and they will take it if she signed it.
And - any time we use our debit card here in town, we MUST show a valid photo ID.
