My son went to renew his DL this week. He is told that you now have to have a copy of birth certificate, a second ID and proof of ND residence. The proof of residency is a copy of bills in your name at that address, etc. etc. You concealed weapons permit will not substitute for your birth certificate even though law enforcement crawled up your ass to check you out. This went into effect sometime late last year. First I've heard of it. Doesn't something like this have to come from the legislature? How did I not hear about this going through last session? I don't necessarily mind this but I think they should have a decent public campaign to inform people of this. No wonder none of these out of state oil workers have ever taken up residency here. I don't think the state wants them too. It would mean too many voters out west.
