i fully support documentation to require all states to have fully verified drivers licenses. i am appalled that some lax negligent states like north carolina accept any old fake information for state documetns. that is absolutely disgsting and an invitatoin for terrorists to blow up more american buildings. we need safety in america. we need to make lazy negligent states take action now. all those with old licenses should be prevented from driving.

I am a 63 year old woman. I have been married a few times. I retired to Florida. I have had a drivers license since I was 16.
Now Fl. won't give me an id because I don't have all my marriage licenses and divorce decrees. I don't know where most 
of the divorces took place. Now I can't drive a car, vote and my bank is not doing business in person any more. This is an
impossible situation. This has greatly diminished my civil liberties. And is further unfair that if I were an illegal alien I could get
my drivers license no matter my marital status.

The State of Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (NDMV) is making the following comments on the four questions posed in Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) DHS-2016-009:

1.   NDMV believes that attempting to get a legal authority letter from the State Attorney General is unnecessary and may be a futile endeavor.  Historically, the Attorney General's Office in this state does not take a stance on the validity of statute one way or another until confronted with prosecution of a particular set of facts.  It is assumed that a state statute is valid until proved otherwise.  Nebraska recommends that this requirement be removed from the Final Rule.
    2. NDMV believes that the recertification process should be distinct from the original certification process that is described in 6 CFR 37.SS(a). We feel that a previously certified state should only be required to report changes that have occurred in the CFR requirements since the date of the state's original REAL ID Compliance certification.
    3. To the extent that DHS employs interviews of NDMV personnel, it is important that there be advance notice of the interview and that DHS be willing to work with the schedules of those being interviewed.
    4. NDMV personnel should be able to present relevant materials in electronic form. We should also be allowed to present material in the manner in which the state has preserved the information and should not be required to prepare material in formats different than how the information is maintained by the state. It is very important that NDMV also have sufficient time to gather the information.
