Massachusetts lets you turn in the driver's license of people with dementia, which is good. However, if you want them to then have a non-driver's state identification, that is a whole separate process. One of my coworkers just went through a Kafka-esque process that chewed up a whole day at the DMV where he turned in his elderly mother's license, then was unable to get the other ID because this nonagenarian didn't have a copy of her birth certificate, from some rural county in the South, where the original was destroyed because the courthouse burned down decades ago, and they wouldn't accept the just-turned-in driver's license as proof of her identity.
