How many students don’t have drivers licenses? The first thing every kid does on his/her birthday when they reach the driving age is to go to the DMV. The is a BS argument.
My understanding is that a significant group of urban dwellers do not get their Drivers licenses until they are much older if ever. However I would not allow any ID without address verification, and unless things have changed since the last time I had a Student ID, there is no address listed on it.
