From the first part: Text of Arizona's Anti-Illegal Immigration Law - Part 1 | KEYTLaw, section B
"4. If the entity requires proof of legal presence in the United States before issuance, any valid United States federal, state or local government issued identification. "
AFAIK, MN, the state in which I live, does not require proof of legal presence to get a driver's license, and I know many other states, such as CA does not as well.This means that if I go to AZ, I need to bring my passport.
That's a bit weird / scary.Now one may argue that this is because MN (and CA) has it wrong, and AZ is doing things correctly. But it is, to me, an interesting side effect. |
It also says on point #4 for say
any US
state or local government issued ID.
That would include your MN DL or ID in Arizona.
