This person was likely very wrong on that front.

Ah, the lovely land of illogical ID requirements.

When I went to get my passport a number of years ago, I didn't
have a Driver's License, but I did have a state ID card.  That
wasn't good enough. I had to have a friend come in with me,
present *his* Driver's License and take an oath that he had known
me for more than some number of years.

Now the amount of identification needed to get a State ID is
*exactly the same* as that to get a Driver's License.  The only
difference is that you have to pass a test to get the DL.

Of course, *those* requirements are fantastically small.  (Though
they may have changed in the last few years.)
