Hi Diane, Thanks for your comment and feedback. Please send along details. This sounds like what they use to verify identity for banking services under the Patriot Act:

Under the USA PATRIOT Act, banks, credit unions and some other financial institutions must check the identity of anyone who wants to open a bank account. Federal lawmakers imposed that requirement following Sept. 11, 2001 to combat the funding of terrorist activities. Foreign terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks used U.S. bank accounts to fund their mission. (per Forbes article)

I saw a book at my bank last week “2024 DMV ID guidebook.” I asked the manager if I could view the book in the lobby of the bank. She said NO! It was for internal use only. I may switch banks!! I asked my husband to try and find a copy on the internet but he is very busy right now. Do you think this book would be helpful?
