Good. Make it even more secure to vote or get welfare.
It is to stop illegals from obtaining a license here. Having worked up in a northern state then it was a joke to get one, but at least here in FL they make it harder for illegals.
These are also the requirements in New Jersey.
Glad to see this is required in other states.
Probably not what you wanted to hear :(
You don’t give that information online do you? Is it a real government website? I have seen from simple search on the internet of many scams claiming to be official site and are scams.
I’m not complaining about having to gather the info. Although I’ve been married for 36 years, I still had to show my marriage license last time I renewed.
I’m all for it, just amazed at people who think it’s too oppressive to make someone show ID when they vote. In Florida, when we vote we have to show 2 IDs, voter registration, and photo ID, driver’s license, etc.
It is a federal thing. When I renew (2018) I need my birth certificate, marriage certificate and social security card. (Maybe another document).
When I took my mom to DMV I made a comment about having to get my marriage certificate from the county, but God help me, I haven’t seen my social security card since I was in my 20’s. Back then it was still in my maiden name-never did take care of that, LOL!
DMV clerk said they accept yearly SS statements. YEAH!!! Don’t have to deal with that headache.
Got a similar notice with the Arkansas DL renewal, but the law for such DL goes into effect in 2019 or 2020.
I thought it ironic that they required so much ID for a DL, but zero ID to vote. But similar logic puts pseudoephedrine behind the counter and requires a DL, wereas regular prescriptions only require me to give them my address (orally, without verification).
I renewed mine around a year ago in DeFuniak Springs, FL.
Ii didn’t bring anything other than my old license. The examniner did look on the computer but required nothing more than my old license.
He took my photo and in a few minutes I had my new license.
HOORAY Florida
ty
Happened to me. I had to prove who I was with a birth certificate because my driver’s license did not have the new secure ID thingamajigger symbol on it.
What I wonder is, if all the states are doing this, how the heck to illegals get licenses in California without U.S. birth certificates? Do foreign birth certificates count there? How safe can that be?
Sounds like they have moved to Real ID
Real ID. Qualifying driver’s licenses can be used to board planes, get government services, etc. If you don’t have one, you’ll need at least a passport card when the friendly federal agent says, “Ihre Unterlagen, bitte”

Today, 50+ years later, I'd support just about any ID requirements and pre-paid annual insurance for a license, plus 12 months rent receipts for voting, and Salvation Army recommendation for welfare enrolment.

Tell the DMV your name is Maria Sanchez and you’re here illegally.
Should have gone to Mexico , then walked across the border and into a California DMV.
That’s easy and they sign you up to vote as well.
The reason they did that was to combat vote fraud... libs cried for weeks
I will speculate these are requirements for an “Enhanced Drivers License.”
Here in Washington state, I have an “EDL” that allows me to travel to and from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.
The requirements to obtain it were very strict.
It has not expired yet, so I don’t know anything about the Washington state renewal policy.
