[QUOTE=NightWing]You are required to provide a
positiveform of ID, which is easily done with a photo ID such as a driver's license. Not all states have photo ID, so it isn't always possible.
Remember that a driver's license is not required to operate a boat, but a Boater's Ed card is and that is a valid form of ID, even without a photo.[/QUOTE]
If the above quote is true, then how does one that is requesting it know that the boating cert. and the ID (no picture) you offer is in fact you. That sure as heck doesn't make sense to this writer.
