Re: CHL vs Drivers License

The strict requirements for identity documents to get a drivers license stem from Texas complying with relatively new federal requirements. IIRC, it is called something like the "Real ID" law.

One consequence was my wife had to change the name on her ID. She had used her Confirmation Name as her middle name for 40 years. That name was not on her birth certificate. So her name on her license now reads "First B Last" where "B" is the first letter of her maiden name, where it used to be "First M Last" because Marie is her confirmation name.

We had cars titled, bank accounts, tax returns, etc etc from many years of marriage under the old name. If she wants to write a check, the name on the check does not match the name on her driver license.

Federal nincompoopness at work again. :banghead:
