Driver's License Fingerprint and Document Requirments
I called the Driver's license/ID issuing authorities in the 50 US states,
the District of Columbia, and 11 Canadian provinces and found only 4 that
said that a fingerprint was required . These were:
California (r thumb);
Colorado (r index);
Hawaii (r thumb);
Texas (both thumbs).
Damn few! Of course the people I spoke with were just that. And you gno what
that means... Then again,DMV employees do seem to act like robots.
As to document requirements most states want to see a birth certificate,except
Massachusets,which will accept 3 various pieces of ID, and Vermont,in which one
can get by with a Marriage License (or divorce papers). Some however want some
ID in addition to the BC. So here goes:
Arkansas SS card
Connecticut 2 pieces
Delaware SS card and 2 other pieces
DC SS card
Florida SS# and 2 pieces
Hawaii SS card
Indiana 2 pieces(1 w/sigature)
Louisianna 2 pieces
Maine 1 piece
Michagan 2 pieces
Mississippi SS card
New York 1 piece w/sig,1 w/address(can be combined)
Nevada SS card or 2 docs w/SS#
North Carolina 1 piece
Pennsylvania SS card
South Carolina 1 piece w/sig
Tennessee SS card
Virginia 1 piece
In Canada only Ontario affirmed that anything other than a Birth cert. was
neccessary and that is mearly 1 additional w/sig.
A good source of info about IDs is The Drivers License Guide Co. in Redwood
City,CA 800 227 8827 Try and get the US ID Manual. It's a hundred bucks
but if you talk sweet they might give you 30 days to pay.
