We don’t have to provide this proof every year....I think it’s every 7 years, maybe 10, I really don’t know. But we don’t get a new card every year, I just renew it online, and don’t go into the DMV.
Maybe you just looked like an honest American :)
Well I got my first Florida DL in 1959. I spent a lot of the next 40 years all over the country but I guess he probably knew I was a local.
