It is one of the great advantages of the United States that no standardized procedure for person identification exists. Seals and certificates vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Cross the border to a state and a hospital birth annoucement is enough for a drivers license, cross again and 4 pieces and a note from mom isn't enough.
Are there any good reference works on how such requirements vary between states? I know Loompanics has some works on the subject of identity, but I don't know how reliable they are. -Allen
