Kansas/Johnson County used to be a three hour ordeal but there were complaints and last time I had to go it was in and out in 30 minutes. I don’t remember what ID was required but I think it was just two forms and a utility bill could be one of them. I think I used my old DL and my passport. My kids all have the plastic birth cert but recently found out that they can’t use that for a passport. Have to get the certified copy. I’m actually okay with that and wish that a photo ID was required everywhere for voting.
When it was time for my oldest daughter to go to Driver’s Ed, I realized I didn’t have birth certificates for the two who were born in San Antonio. It was pricy, like $32 each, to get them from Texas Vital Records, but it wasn’t difficult, didn’t take very long, and didn’t require a trip to Texas.
NC will require photo ID for voting in 2016. The poll workers mentioned it when I voted in the primary last week.
