I finally found one that I was looking for. This is from the LA Times. Click the link for the complete article.

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.

So what the hell is wrong with that? Wow people putting their hard earned money in the bank, that banks can loan out to businesses or for mortgages.

Oh the horrors.
