Comments
The Virginia REAL ID type legal presence requirements have caused problems for older Virginians, particularly in minority or rural communities, who do not have birth certificates sometimes because they were born at home. This bill is intended to correct this predictable result of a Virginia law that imposed stringent legal presence requirements on everyone seeking a Virginia drivers' license or ID.
