So I went to the NYS DMV office in midtown today to get my Mass license changed over to a New York State Driver's License. I brought my valid NYS Non-Driver Identification (which is issued by the NYS DMV, and is legally identical for identification purposes) and was told that they'll accept it as proof of identity, but not as proof of my age.
Umm... so I'm the holder of a valid legal document from them certifying my age (which I had to use two or three documents to obtain,) but they won't accept it as a proof of my age. Nor, apparently, will they use their own records, based on my ID from them and photo in their system, as proof of my age. It makes me wonder why they expect everyone else to accept a driver's license as ID and proof of age.
