That's most interesting, and I wonder why they would not accept a driver's license...but I guess you don't need to be a citizen to get a driver's license? > ... > However, U.S. citizens should use their U.S. passports > when entering > or leaving the United States We drove up to my in-law's house, and found a certified copy of his birth certificate, and I will FedEx it to him tomorrow. The birth certificate is a joke...something I could print out on my Epson color printer. I don't understand how they hold so much credence in a piece of paper that has no real formal identification that you are the one on the paper, no official designation, no consistent format etc. It, as I said, could just as soon be something I made up on my computer and printed out, rumpled it up a bit etc. Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
