Well, 2 weeks ago my driver's license was due for renewal, and of course I forgot to get it done. So this morning on my way into work I stopped to take care of it. Now I've heard a lot about new ID requirements, so at the last minute, I grabbed my passport to take with me, figuring a US passport is about the best ID I could carry.
I had: My Florida driver's license (with photo and current address)
The renewal form that they sent to my home address
A current, valid US passport (the photo actually looks like me)
A current Florida voter's ID card (with address)
My social security card
A checkbook with my name and address printed (same address)
A wallet full of credit cards, membership cards, discount cards.
They wanted one more thing with my address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They asked for a bank statement or a utility bill to prove that I was living at that address and getting my mail there!!!!!!! Apparently, their own renewal form didn't count because they had sent it ???????!!!!!!!!!!??????????
On digging through my purse, I found a payroll auto deposit, still in the envelope, that looks like a paycheck. It was in an envelope and addressed to me, so they took it.
The moral of this story is: if you're not who you say you are, renew your license via the internet, because you don't need all this stuff, and you can just lie about it. But if you are legitimately yourself (?) show up in person and just try to prove who you are!
AARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
