You have to show ID. It doesn’t have to be a driver’s license. Many states, mine included, issue cards that are solely for identification and that’s it.
Yes, but if you already have a driver’s licence, you cannot get a non-driver ID. I tried that before, they refuse to issue both, it’s an either/or, but you can’t have both.
South Mississippi here, dunno about other states though.
There are a handful of reasons it might happen, most aren’t a want though.
Cheaper to get an ID in most placed
If you can’t drive anyway might as well save the cash
Sometimes your doctor will request the DMV revoke your license permanently
If you’re a teen your parents may make you ~to save money on their insurance~ as a punishment. Fun fact: Your insurance will likely still charge you for them if you do that!
It’s pretty rare that someone surrenders their license willingly, though, because in a lot of places to get it back after surrender, you need to go through the whole process again.
If you got a CDL- commercial driver license, you will carefully cobble what you got around that. The CDL is expensive to get. You are going to familiarize with the local laws. New state? You are an expert.
Yeah, CDLs are a whole different ballgame. I know someone who was a trucker, and they flat out told me that in car accidents you’re at fault until proven otherwise. Not sure if that’s true, but it wouldn’t surprise me given how many dashcams are in semis
Yes, very true. But you can’t get both a citizen ID and a Driver’s License at the same time, that’s forbidden by the DMV, at least down here in south Mississippi.
Believe me, I tried exactly that after I lost my driver’s license once, they refused to issue me a non-driver citizen ID, as I was still a registered driver, so they just reprinted my last driver’s license instead, despite my request for a non-driver ID.
I’m not sure where you are, but I’d guess 95% of people’s ID cards down this way are driver’s licenses, not pedestrian IDs.
Edit: I love getting downvoted for spitting proven tested facts about the legal system, that’s awesome 👍 /s
Whatever, votes don’t matter anyways, facts are real though.
The beer I speak of is called King Cobra, which is made by the same company that makes Busch beer, but has a slightly higher alcohol content at 6%. A 32 ounce of that beer indeed costs $1.70, counting tax. In comparison, a 32 ounce bottle of filtered water goes for $2 plus tax, go figure. And a candy bar? $2.75 plus tax. Yeah I think the pricing of stuff around here is indeed about back asswards too.
I’m assuming you’re not familiar with either brand though, but Busch beer is one of the more common goto beers for typical gatherings such as cookouts and watching sports games and stuff. To me, King Cobra tastes about the same, not too bad really, and it’s also not the true rotgut shit beer that’s actually just a little cheaper.
It cost me like $180? I don’t remember exactly, and I know not everyone can afford that, but it is a relatively cheap expense for something that lasts a long time and acts as official identification literally all over the world.
It would have been cheaper to get a non-driver ID as I didn’t have a car anymore at the time. Still don’t actually, whenever I do need to drive, I have to borrow my mom’s car or roommate’s SUV.

Pretty sure every state has non-drivers ID

Why would you want to surrender your license in exchange for a non-driver’s ID?

Sorry, none of that is true, and no matter what, you should hire a lawyer

Passports and Passport cards are also a thing… lmao
Passport? Well look at Mr. Moneybags over here… 😂🤣
It’s cheaper than alcoholism, pal
Beer costs half as much as a candybar or a soda here, so are you sure about that?
$1.70 for 32 ounce beer here. Hell, that’s even cheaper than 32 ounces of bottled filtered water.
That must be some actual shit beer then. In no place in the world would I ever expect beer to be cheaper than water, let alone a damn candy bar.
Just looked it up. Unless you’re Czech, African, or Columbian beer isn’t going to be cheaper than water.
You seem to speak fluent english, as if it’s your first language, so I’m gonna assume you’re from the western hemisphere.

$180 for the actual passport with the pages. Passport card is only $30 + $35 processing fee so total is $65
I couldn’t remember because I got the book and the card

Damn got any more dog whistles?
You think I’m joking, sadly I’m not. Those that I’ve met with good careers have been with the mayor…

But hey, I got a license 👍
