    One of the worries I have when travelling is that I have my passport, ID book and driver's licence with me all at the same time. It's one of the very few times I will have all three on me (ID book and passport are usually locked away at home)

    Getting a new passport will be problem enough, getting a new driver's licence requires an ID book and getting a new ID book can take months...

    All right. I'll bite. What is an ID book? (ID I understand, but they made a whole book out of it?)

    HI Brandie,

    It is a scaled down version of a passport. It use to contain drivers and gun licenses. Marriage certificates etc but ID Books are falling away and are going to be replaced by a chip card much like the american social security cards

    Thanks for the explanation.

    Though American social security cards don't have chips. They're just little paper cards.

    Little paper cards that no one has. I lost mine before I went into the Navy, which was before some of you were born.

    I still have my original one from 82-83. It is right next to my expired passport in my fireproof safe.

    --EDIT--

    I maybe should clarify, at that time you did not get or need a social security number until you were going to start in the work force. Unlike today where newborns are given an SSN at birth.

    I still have my Social Security card that I got when I got my first job as a teenager. Much like Gail's out-of-date photo in her ID book, my signature on the card looks like a 14-year-old's handwriting - very unlike how my signature looks now.

    I've always been amused that the Social Security card itself isn't good for much of anything (as somebody mentioned, it's not proof of identity) and about the only time anyone cares to see it is when they have to verify eligibility for employment - and even then, it's only valid for that purpose when accompanied by an approved form of ID. For my current job, I didn't bother dredging up the Social Security card - I just presented my passport, which is sufficient as both ID and proof of citizenship for employment purposes.

    Really? I've had mine in my wallet since age 16. I lost it once and had it replaced immediately. Maybe I got into the habit because I'm a consultant (and was a temp before that) and whenever you get a job, they require license and SS Card for the paperwork.

    I didn't even have to show the card to join the Navy. I've never had it to show it for any job, consulting or otherwise. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I haven't had one for my entire adult life.

  • The requirement to show a social security card to get a job isn't 100% required. If you don't have a card, you can show two other IDs to prove your eligibility to work in the States.

    But I've always defaulted to the card because it's easier than remembering what other pieces of paper I could use from the C List.

    Here's the I-9 (caution, opens PDF file) with the lists on the last page.

    Puh-lease. Once you join a U.S. Military service, they own you all the way down to the DNA strands. Who needs the card when they have your biometrics and a ritual blood/tissue sample to track you down after you leave?

    Oh, wait. The ritual sample thing is Shadowrun. Nevermind that part. @=)

    Well, as long as it isn't that little peace of skin some males lose as part of indoctrination that ritual sample should be absolutely sufficient 😀

    How are things going?

    All the days are just running together. It is hard to know what day it is. Other than that, I really have to say things are going extraordinary especially in my personal life. This deployment has rekindled my life potentially. Know more when I actually redeploy back to the states, but things are looking quite promising.

    Some of you may know what I am talking about, but I'm not ready to say much more at this point.
