It's an upgraded id/license... with more paper work attached like a passport but without the perks of one...
Also you can have both an id and a driver's license...
A driver's license can be used as an id...
Make sense
I was drinking with a security guard who checks photo IDs before entering a club. And he was sharing all the crazy IDs he would get and have to understand. He's even gotten in trouble a few times for not letting people because he didn't believe their ID was valid, because the ID was "valid" where they came from.
THIS. Fun fact: Arizona IDs don't have (or didn't use to have) expiration dates or just say something stupid like "EXPIRES 01/01/2075". I can't blame anyone who isn't from Arizona for looking at an exp date 50 years in the future and believing it's fake.
that actually reminds me of a buddy of mine that moved to Canada from Arizona. He kept using his Arizona ID for awhile and whenever we'd go to a bar (we were in our early 20s at the time) he'd always get grief because of his Arizona Drivers License. they'd be all "this expires in 2060? this has to be fake" and every time he'd have to explain to them how Arizona drivers licenses work. got to the point where he just had to switch for an Ontario one just to save him the hassle. He even said if he was in another state in the US they'd still give him a hard time over it.
