On July 22, 2009 the State of Nebraska DMV went on a new driver’s license issuance system. One of the key new requirements is that everyone must have two documents that verify/prove their address and were issued within the last ninety days. This is proving a bit of a challenge as many people are not aware of this change. In particular, it appears that young people are showing up without these documents. If there is any way to communicate the following information to your chamber members and staff either directly, through your new letters, or any other method, it would be outstanding. This would be greatly appreciated by those of us in the business and by those who are sent away when they do not have the proper documents to present to the state examiners. This requirement applies to your entire staff, so giving them this information might save them a trip also. Remember, as a general rule, any documents may not be over 90 days old.
The problem is further magnified by the fact that young people tend not to have many of the items on the approved list such as utility bills, credit card bills, bank statements, and etc.
Obvious things for students would be:
Correspondence mailed to them from the school.
Grades, if their name and address are on them.
Class schedules, if their name and address are on them.
A magazine sent to their house.
Any envelope, box or postcard mailed to them with a postmark date.
Voter registration card
Fishing or hunting licenses
Something addressed to THE PARENT OF (students name) and address is acceptable as the second proof of address.
And if all else fails a parent or guardian may sign an under 21 address certification document and then provide two documents with the parent or guardians name and address as proof of their address.
