You can use any valid identification to get alcohol. You don’t need a driver’s license, that is just the most common form of ID. You can use a passport, you can get an ID from the DMV that does not permit you to drive, you can even use a Merchant Mariner Card.
You can’t get a citizen ID when you’re still on record as having a driver’s licence. You don’t get the option to switch over from one to the other in Mississippi if you’re still on record as having a license.
Been there, tried that. I ain’t had a running car in like 11 years. I either walk, ride bicycle, ride as passenger, or ever so occasionally borrow my mom’s car or roommate’s SUV.
Hey, got your dm but figured it was better to answer here.
That’s its intended purpose yes but it’s still a valid ID that doesn’t require you to surrender your driver’s license. I believe there’s a paper version of their forms if you can’t get local assistance.
I think you might have slightly misunderstood me though, I mean that the DMV wouldn’t even allow me to surrender my license to get a simple citizen ID, even though that’s what the police department expected me to do after my first and only DUI a decade ago.
That was a long time ago, and I tried to do everything right and proper. But it was like the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing, as technically my license was suspended for 4 years, yet the DMV refused to issue a plain non-driver ID, they just reprinted my last license from their files.
Sigh, all that was long ago, I’ve long ago resolved all these things, and I’m not about to make the same mistake again. I don’t even have a motor vehicle anymore, I usually just ride as a passenger anymore. The few occasions I do need to borrow a vehicle, I simply don’t drink ya know.
Still, weird that the DMV refused to issue me a non-driver ID during that 4 year suspension, like did they even actually suspend my license in the first place?

You can probably get a nexus card for ID. It’s a federally recognized ID card.
What does this have anything to do with travel between states within the USA?

Yes I looked it up, that’s for travelling between countries, which I have no need, plan or intent to do.
