Mexican ID Card Gains Status, and Long Lines of Applicants
And dozens of financial institutions courting Mexican customers--the Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank, among them--are accepting the cards as legal identification for opening bank accounts.
After Sept. 11, when proving one's identity became vital in a security-conscious society, the matricula has become an alternative for millions of undocumented workers not eligible for a green card or Social Security card, who therefore could not get even a driver's license or state-issued ID card.
Not all states are accepting the MC's yet but it is just a matter of time. Check with the bank in your area that you do business with.
I hope this is some help to you.
