Also according to the CSM, there are at least 16,000 issuers of birth certificates in this country alone from which the DMV's will have to obtain verification. Then there are the 50+ DMV's (including US territories) that issue driver's licenses and ID's. Throw into this mix the millions of Americans in similar situations to my own family and you are asking the impossible of DMV personnel.

My family is only one situation among millions that DMV personnel across the country will be confronted with. Will they be trained in the scenarios they'll have to face? Will they know which agency, in more than 100 countries, they will have to contact for verification - and how to do it? How long will it take to obtain verification, how much will it cost, and who will pay for it? How will verification be obtained from countries like Libya where we once had a sizeable military presence - but with whom we no longer even have diplomatic relations? Or countries that no longer exist - like Yugoslavia?



These are questions that need to be answered.
