I, for one, felt the passport was very invasive to my privacy.

Here I would need three things to get a real ID:

Proof of SSI
Proof of resicency
Proof of birth--birth certificate

I had to have two documents for my Drivers license Way back when

And that birth certificate has to be an officially produced, embossed seal, certificate ... photocopies don't count. You would have to contact the county where you were born to get it if you don't have one. I'm not even sure how much documentation they would require to send that out. Anyone could claim they were "you" and ask for it. Hopefully they wouldn't ask for a copy of your birth certificate

Each county has a process here. It usually involves taking documents to a notary of the public. I have had to get new ones for my Daughters when they started driving. It does take a week or so to get them.

I better check to see if mine has the official seal on it!

Mine came via UPS today but because I wasn't home (BF's mom was) they decided not to leave it because it's signature required.

Did it go back to Canada?

yep... sounded bad.

The new passports have the chip in them too.

All bad...just saying.

 

[superchemicalgirl]

It'll go well with the chip in my head.

I'm really glad I'm getting older, because I feel like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon. I can't handle the "advances."

I hated those new chip debit cards. Worked so slow, super slow, like so slow I wanted to go back to cash.
They must have worked the bugs out cause now they are quick, only took a yr or so.

true.....

Spouse made me do a "romantic weekend" in the big city just last week

While there we went to a bar that had a trivia night... We bombed.

One question was about some new gadget that came out in 2013... spouse and I had NEVER heard of it.
