Drivers License ID
Hey! I searched and searched and didn't find this asked...Ok so I want to sign up for MFC and Streamate and I only have my drivers license with my address on it for ID..In my state I am not allowed to have a state id and a drivers license and if you get one it cancels out the other so I cannot get a state ID with a PO Box...My question is have many of you used your DL with home address on it for proof of ID for these sites? Do you think it's safe to do this on these sites?

Re: Drivers License ID
You should be able to use your driver's license, but it's recommended that you use a passport that doesn't have your address on it, for security purposes.
It takes a while for the passport application to be processed, though, if you don't already have one. I'm not signing up on any other sites until I have mine.

Re: Drivers License ID
I blacked out my address on my drivers license on both C4S and SM and it was accepted on both sites.

Woah sammi! Good to know. I thought about that, but heard that it doesn't work. May as well try now.

Re: Drivers License ID
Yup, it worked for me. Just make sure everything else on your DL is really clear.

Re: Drivers License ID
Well since there is a Streamate rep here you could email them and ask about that, but I think their main thing is that you say your the appropriate age and that you look like you do when your on cam.

Re: Drivers License ID
^^^ I would point out that under the new US laws all webcam hosts ( in country or 'offshore' ) are now required to 'verify' the ID of US citizens with the IRS prior to making payments. This in turn requires, name, address, ss# etc. ... unless you have a TIN registered to a US PO Box.

Re: Drivers License ID
I have never had a issue. I use to use my ID until holograms where placed on the new ones. Reflections are terrible when snapping a photo. I use my passport now and sometimes both. Some sites require 2 forms of ID that are current. IMO you are perfectly safe.
