SHIT! - Page 3

Not every time, but I've had to show my original SS card for an employer. It's because a mistake in the SS number, creates a shitload of hassle, for the employer to straighten out later.

If I remember correctly (it's been awhile), my SS card says right on the front, NOT to be used as an ID.

not to be picky... but there is not Real ID law. there may be a proposal, much like.. "obamacare" isn't a law. It's all talk at this point.

furthermore, a national id .. very very doubtful . of course that may merely be wishful thinking on my part.

as for drivers' licensing. That is a state matter. Indeed, I live in a state with an international border and I have have recently gotten an enhanced driver's license. for the purpose of surface travel between washington and canada it is an acceptable proof of citizenship. Not for air travel. and not for travel to other countries. Limited, but more functionality than a driver's license.

It's called a passport.

BigV · 11-10-2009, 01:36 PM

Ah, yes. Of course you are right. I meant in the context of a required identification document. "Please produce your papers!" etc etc.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-10-2009, 01:41 PM

Yeah, yeah, everyone knows what you were saying/implying. My attempted humor was not opportunistic, not critical.

Anything requiring a birth certificate gets awful weird for me. I don't have one, not that the US courts recognize.

However I am a US citizen with a passport.

Makes for fun times down at the DMV.

Interesting how many more employers are requiring an I-9.

BigV · 11-10-2009, 03:13 PM

aren't they all supposed to be concerned with it? it's just as much a crime to employ someone who has no right to work as it is to be employed without the right to work.

monster · 11-10-2009, 06:43 PM

There are new regulations regarding the I9, I think. we have to do it for all our summer pool employees. This is only my first year as treasurer, but I get the feeling it's fairly newly mandatory.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-11-2009, 02:15 AM

About 5 years ago, after working there for almost 20 years, I had to come up with my original birth certificate (no Photostats, no duplicates, original with raised seal), because of a change in federal law.

DanaC · 11-11-2009, 04:19 AM

Original birth certificate? Well, shit. That'd be me well an'truly farked then.

I think I'm onto my forth or fifth re-issue.

And I lost my National Insurance card within about a year of getting it. Mind you I have never ever needed it. As long as you know your national insurance number, you don't actually need the card.

I can feel the horror, damn!
I think most of us know the feeling... Like the whole world got on a train and left without you.

Sorry Sam

no one has original birth certificates. original birth certificates are kept in the public records; from whence you obtain certified copies; this is the proof you need for a passport, for example

SamIam · 11-11-2009, 09:33 AM

You can use a copy of your divorce decree, too. Naturally, I have lost mine. My ex-husband aka Mr. Anal is sure to have a copy. I suppose I need to cowboy up and write him for this. Its easier than getting a copy of my birth certificate and cheaper, too. (sigh) I can hear the lecture now.
