RonD1120 62 #226 September 25, 2013 GeorgiaDonQuoteRead the section Primary Identification. Here's the Primary Identification section from the Georgia DDS web site: "Primary Identification (You must present 1 of the following unless otherwise noted): US Citizen Valid, Unexpired US Passport - For more information, please go to www.travel.state.gov/passport/ An original or certified copy of a US Birth Certificate/Amended Birth Certificate filed with the State Office of Vital Statistics or equivalent agency in the Applicant's state of birth (including US Territories and the District of Columbia). "Keepsake" birth certificates issued by hospitals are not acceptable. GA Residents, for more information use this link to GA Vital Records gta.georgia.gov/rover Non-GA residents, for more information use this link to view list of other State's Vital Records contacts www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the U.S Department of State, Form FS-240, DS-1350, or FS 545 - For more information, please go to www.travel.state.gov/law/family_issues/birth/birth_593.html Certificate of Naturalization issued by DHS, Form N-550 or N-570 - For more Information, please go to www.dhs.gov/homeland-security-forms Certificate of Citizenship, Form N-560 or N-561, issued by the DHS - For more information, please go to www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis SSA Numident Record – Applicant’s date of birth must be prior to January 1, 1940 Original US Military Discharge Papers – Applicant’s date of birth must be prior to January 1, 1940" So you could use a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship instead of a birth certificate. That's a bit of a dodge, as you would almost certainly need a birth certificate to get a passport, assuming you were born in the US (which I'm pretty sure is the case). I suppose it's just possible the last two forms of ID might apply, not being sarcastic or anything but I recall you've written in the past about your experiences as a young man in the early '60s. Anyway there are other acceptable forms of primary ID but I agree the only one most people would have is either a birth certificate or passport (which requires a birth certificate). It also seems to be true that Georgia does not accept an out-of-state DL as a primary identification. As an aside, this thread does illustrate the problem people can run into when they need to get acceptable forms of ID starting from scratch, for example to vote. You need a birth certificate to get a passport, you need either one for a DL, and of course you need to be able to prove who you are to get a copy of your birth certificate. If you ever lose all your ID (say, in a house fire) it can be a long difficult job to replace it. Don My wife had an expired passport, HS Diploma, marriage certificates, death certificate of first husband in addition to valid FL DL. None of this was acceptable because of the discrepancy on her BC.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

rushmc 23 #227 September 25, 2013 Quote So is it not possible to have anything wrong with a republican candidate never said this. McCain sucked from the beginning. He never should have been the canidate which would cause the voting public to shy away from them..... or it's always just because the media is plotting to smear them and goes out of their way to viscerally report hype? Ever seen a right leaning canidate get a fair shake from the media lately? Or are the repulicans really trying to get grandma thrown out of her house and want to starve school kids? I'm sorry to chime in when this is all kind of OT, but I'm with the other guys. McCain almost had my vote. I watch all the news networks, including the ones that went out of their way to put her on a pedal stool in a bright shining light, so I would like to say my vote was an informed decision; and my decision was a no go once I researched and vetted Palin more and more after she was picked up as his running mate. I do not watch ANY network news anymore. Including FOX or local. It is slanted, biased and misleading most of the time It's a little insulting that you're basically saying none of us made informed decisions and we're all brain washed by the media.Your choice to be insulted But we got Obama back in office now. He makes GWB look like the smartest president we have ever had. Many of us seen it coming.

muff528 3 #230 September 25, 2013 Just this past weekend I renewed my FL DL online. I did not have to provide any ID other than my DL# and a code number on the back of my existing license. The online form did ask for bday and last 4 of ssn. I just paid them the $55 and they mail me my new license. Although I haven't received it yet, I checked online for status and my new license is now good until 2021. (I guess they're going to use my pic from 2007 on the new license ...no matter, I still look the same.) HOWEVER, if I had physically gone to the DL office to renew in person, I would have been required to produce all the docs that Ron mentioned ...just so they could be sure that I'm me before issuing the renewal. Somehow, that doesn't make much sense to me but I don't make the rules. I guess DHS trusts you if you apply online (where no one actually sees who is filling out that form) but gets suspicious if you decide to apply in person with the DL you are renewing.

normiss 903 #232 September 25, 2013 Every 3rd renewal requires a visit in person IIRC. I was somewhat amazed that after 35 years of having a valid FL DL, I had to prove who I was with a birth certificate, a bill sent to my address with my name on it, etc. gathergoget.com shows what FL requires. I really feel for women who have been married a few times...those who have lost all ID....it's a royal PITA. However, I do think Ron is right about the ID requirements for the most part. In Re DL's anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muff528 3 #233 September 25, 2013 normissEvery 3rd renewal requires a visit in person IIRC. So, for me, that would be once every 24 years. Now I understand why requiring a DL or state-issued ID might be considered to be such an oppressive requirement for some folks who might want to vote but can't prove who they are. QuoteI was somewhat amazed that after 35 years of having a valid FL DL, I had to prove who I was with a birth certificate, a bill sent to my address with my name on it, etc. gathergoget.com shows what FL requires.

In Re DL's anyway. Well, my main point is that if, during this renewal cycle, I'm eligible for online renewal (by just "telling" them who I am over the internet), why can I not use the same requirements for "in-person" renewal ...just show them my old DL and tell them my last 4 ssn.? They even have the further advantage of comparing my face with the picture on the old DL. I do understand that in 16 years I will have to provide BC or Passport. Or maybe the DHS regs which mandated these requirements are just not that important and someone is just writing rules to keep his job rather than coming up with meaningful, effective regulations.
