WTF? Why do you need all that just to get a License? All you need to get a drivers license is to show them a B/C (in florida) or at least thats all I needed when I lost mine. They already have your info and a picture of you in the computer system. I have never herad of the DMV asking for 3 forms of id (especially a school id, since most people arent in college) just to get a license. Good luck

abbo7, they have high school IDs too.

When I got my license, I didn't need all that so I guess they changed it. I do hear that there is like a 6 month waiting period to get a license (after you turn 16, I guess) which I also didn't have to deal with.

When I got my license(8yrs ago) if you where under 18 you had to prove you where in school or had grad,ged or whatever. But you being 18 I have no idea why the hell it would matter.

Just looked it up

"A person under age 18 must show proof of driver education, verification of current enrollment and attendance in school (or high school graduation or GED), proof of social security number, as well as proof of identification. TRC 521.204, 521.222 and 545.424"

I think that lady was misinformed. You do not need a school id if you are over 18. I'd say come to the McAllen or Edinburg offece to get your license.

Try showing her proof that you are out of school. Or just go back on another day, because obviously you got one of the dumbest that the DMV employs. And when I say the dumbest, that means a lot since most of the people that work there are brain dead.
