Quote:So is a drivers license considered government ID.
My boyfriend lost his license for 6 months when he first got to this state for improper license - failure to transfer his license from the state he came from. In NJ they take it away for that shit.
So to go on in life he needed ID from a 'governmental institution'. It does not necessarily need to be a federal ID when one talks of 'government issued ID' .
He had to go to motor vehicles and apply for a State ID. The woman at the desk told him that he can circumvent that and just get a boating license. Then when it comes time to get his drivers license back, it would be a simple swap.
Well, she lied. He got the boating license but it wasn't a simple swap. He had to take the written test given for new licensees to get his license plus pay fees to do so.
But when he applied for the boating license he had to bring 6 'points' of identification with him. We have to do this to renew our licenses as well. It is not enough to have your old license and SS# anymore. They send you a list of what kind of documentation is worth whatever many of points to equal 6.
