Thread: N.C. bill requires Social Security number for driver's licen

The are talking about verifying some information:

The Legislature also approved late Wednesday on a new driver's license change in which all applicants would start getting their permanent licenses by mail, rather than at local DMV offices.

The bill would eliminate the need for all DMV offices to be equipped with card-making machines. Instead, licenses and permits would be generated at a centralized location.

DMV offices would issue a temporary driving certificate good for 20 days and not usable as an identification card. The period would give officials a chance to determine whether a motorist is trying to generate a false identification or steal someone else's identity, said Wayne Hurder, the head of DMV's driver licensing section.

"It will help ... give us that time to research your record to meet all of our standards to meet residency requirements," Hurder said before the bill passed the Senate by a vote of 48-0. The House followed with its own unanimous approval.

This is a huge step in the right direction! It was only a few years ago they were giving licenses away like politicians give candy to babies and children.

Great work William! And everyone who put pressure on the legislators. Now momentum is building. This fall and winter is going to be when we see some real action.
