I guess someone could show a driver license as it requires a bunch of prove-your-identity documents to get, at least in my state.

- lazyasciiart 7y agoDepends on the state - many (most? all?) states let people on temporary visas get a drivers license, and don't tie the period of validity together. But more importantly, since there is no system to revoke a drivers license if your immigration status is revoked, a drivers license can only be used as proof that you were able to show legal status in the past, not that you have it now.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y ago> and don't tie the period of validity together That seems... foolish? Like allowing a root/intermediate CA to sign leaf certs to be valid after their own expiration.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoNot exactly. It's more like, your email account at work doesn't automatically deactivate when you die. They're totally separate systems with different requirements.
- manigandham 7y agoSome states (like California) allow illegal immigrants to still attain driver licenses.
