re: #76 HoosierHoops

Really? A 96 year old without without any State or Federal issued ID..Weird..
I got a passport without a Marriage license… You can get a free ID in Indiana to vote if you are too poor for free…

You already had ID. Imagine that all your ID has been lost, say it was stolen, or there was a fire, the specifics don’t really matter because it’s gone. Now imagine that you’re a woman and changed your last name decades ago, but the marriage license was lost with the rest of your id. All you have access to is a birth certificate, and the last name doesn’t match any of your bills, the name printed on your checkbook, etc. I’m sure there has to be some kind of workaround, but it isn’t immediately obvious to me what it is.
