Lucky Goldstar specifically.

Back in the day, in my state you could have both at the same time - and they’d also hold your driver’s license as bond if you got a ticket. So I got both for myself for when that happened.

I have a kid today who doesn’t drive, has state ID. People do actually use state IDs, but it’s really only for people who haven’t already got a driver’s license, or who have had their driver’s license revoked, so they’re definitely not as common.

But they’re there, and if you can’t have a driver’s license, you should definitely get a state ID. I don’t know what situation you’re in where you’re being presented with identification, but it might be a nice idea to make sure people whose paths you cross without photo ID are aware of their options where you are.

Proof? I mean, I know that my state issues state IDs (what we always called them in my youth). I’m seeing that you’re better off searching for “non driver identification card” now.

My point wasn’t that everyone who didn’t have a driver’s license had a state ID instead, rather to counter the implication that people who don’t have a driver’s license don’t have access to government issued photo ID apart from a passport. If you don’t drive, you can still get a non driver’s ID card from your state using the same supporting documentation (apart from the driver’s tests) and fee as a driver’s license.

Usually people who don’t have a driver’s license instead acquire a state ID, which is exactly the same but doesn’t license you to drive.

You think there will be midterms.

It’s going to feature a dentist chair and a bunch of weird heads on the walls, isn’t it?
