Note that state IDs are not acceptable, only a driver's license. State IDs have the exact same information: age, address, photo, state seal, etc. Yet these are not acceptable. You must have a DRIVER's license.
Again, the assumption that everyone drives, that if you don't you must be legally unable to get a license (in the country illegally, or hiding a felonious past), or be some shady, questionable character.
