4. I probably wouldn't laminate it...

I live in the hellhole formerly known as Kansas and when I moved here
a couple of years back had to get a new drivers license...well, thanks to
future gov koshit's voter repression drive my 40 some year old SS
card would not do for id because 40 some years ago I had put transparent
tape on both sides to protect it. Had to get a new one. Also, my state
issued and sealed (with state seal) birth certificate id card from 1964 was
no good, guess I might be one of them "others" so I had to spend another
$30 to get an "original" copy of my birth certificate. Don't know if these
issues might affect your Medicare card somewhere down the road but you
never know. So any official id issued to me gets copied and the original stays
home.
