Not from a private party.
Again, not if you buy private party in most states.
No, you don't. All you need to apply for a credit card is your SSN and verified address from your credit report.
I've applied online and been approved for several credit cards over the past few years and never had to send or fax them shit.
Discover (whom I already have a credit card through) just sent me a junk-mailer asking if I wanted to sign up for their free checking account service -- again, no ID required.
Okay, you finally found one.
The only thing I write checks for these days is to pay for utilities. Check goes in the mail, no ID required.
Maybe if you live in a high-crime area or are checking into a hotel or something, but I've never had to show ID for small in-store purchases. Most bigger ticket items I order online -- again, no ID required.
Okay, perhaps...
And if you don't drink or smoke?
And if you're happily single and have no plans to get hitched?
Only on public roads.
You already covered this.
Maybe for long-term care at a hospital or something where they need to track you down to pay for your bill, but most small clinics don't need to see shit so long as you pay before you leave, assuming insurance doesn't cover it all.
Only commercial, not if charter a private plane.
Nope. I signed up for Obamacare online, and all they did was verify some info off my credit report -- no ID required.
Same with auto insurance -- did it all over the phone, never had to go down to their office to show them or give them shit.
Okay, maybe you found another. But what about retirees drawing on Social Security?
Through the USPS perhaps... I can't remember if I had to show ID when buying a private box through a commercial mailbox outfit. Maybe...
And if you don't hunt, don't fish, and don't plan to start a business?
No, my local credit union only requires presentation of debit card to cash a check.
And you can always just deposit it, then turn around and pull money out of the ATM.
Many old folks own their own houses.
And if you don't travel and already have your own vehicle?
Who the hell does that any more?
Most retirees are going to hire someone else to do that kind of work for them.
Okay, there's a few.
Only if you look like you're under 30. Most places don't card older folks.
Are they doing that now? It's been awhile since I've ridden, but I wouldn't be surprised if they started that shit due to TSA bullshit from on high.
Nada. I bought my prepaid AT&T GoPhone online, they sent it in the mail. Never had to show up to show shit, just put money on it online or by credit card over the phone.
You can thank the war on drugs for that bullshit.
Again, only if you look like you're under 30.
I'm trying to recall if I did have to show ID when I enrolled... I know I was approved online. Perhaps when I got my school ID taken...
I've done all of those things without ever setting foot in an office. All they ever needed was SSN -- and a check in the mail.
Maybe in high-crime areas, but all those services just leave packages at the door-step, unless signature required. And even if signature required, no need to show ID.
Nope. I pick up pills for my parents all the time. All they need is phone number and knowing what prescriptions you have due.
Then what good will Voter ID do if so many people have fake ID's and are supposedly voting multiple times?
You might want to rethink this thing through...
