[Nfbf-l] State ID

Sun Aug 5 11:22:11 UTC 2012

All I know is that each of the 3 times I've rquested the Braille label to be 
placed on my ID card, it has been done. However, the last time I updated my 
ID card, the DMV worker argued with me about there not being such a 
provision. I had to prove that there was such a label by showing her my old 
ID card with the Braille label on it. She asked the supervisor about it and 
the supervisor provided the label for my new ID card.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Lapp

>>>>> and address on them, or they can be letters you've received from a 
>>>>> government agency, such as the Social Security Administration.  But 
>>>>> two of those are necessary. If you have your old ID card, bring that 
>>>>> with you as well.  I believe if you have a passport, that can take the 
>>>>> place of at least some of that documentation. It is really a quick 
>>>>> process if you have all your paperwork together. The ID will cost 
>>>>> $31.25.  And by the way, if you are planning on moving to another 
>>>>> state, as I am, don't expect that you can get a temporary ID or some 
>>>>> sort of sticker that might reduce or eliminate the cost.  In someone 
>>>>> else's words, there ain't no such animal.  So there you have it, I 
>>>>> hope that helps anyone who might be ready to obtain another state ID 
>>>>> card.
