Those are the Real ID requirements here in NM too. US citizens can use a certified copy of their birth certificate.
Can illegals get a driver's license in Massachusetts?
Illegals in New Mexico can use an identification card issued by the consulate of Mexico in El Paso Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, or such other foreign consulate, or certified copy of foreign birth certificate, with a notarized English translation if not in English.
The same rules apply to the citizens of California Cator.
I renewed last October and could not find my certified copy of my birth certificate.
I have it now and will have to go back to get the full license to be able to fly.
My grip is I had two expired passports with all the data, which has not changed, and I have the military veterans notice on my license. I had a veterans’s office employee enter all of the data, two years ago with my official birth certificate, valid pass ports and other VA data. None of that data was valid for the new all inclusive Ca. Driver’s license.
I'll assume that that's a rhetorical question. ;-)
On a related matter: a couple of years ago,knowing that I'd be out of state on Election Day,I went to Town Hall for an absentee ballot.I gave the clerk my name and asked if she needed to see my ID and she,with shock on her face,said "no!"
Surprised by her answer I asked how she knew I was even qualified to vote."Well,you sign an assurance that you are" was her answer."You mean anyone can get a ballot just by giving a name? Do you ask for ID when you register?",I asked.
"It's against state law for a government official to ask for ID when registering or voting" was her answer.
