    Default My cousin needs to get a photo ID within one day. Any ideas?

    My roommate cousin has a chance for a great promotion at his work. But his wallet was stolen sometime within the last 3-5 weeks. He's already applied for a new California Driver's license, but has no picture ID of any kind until the new license arrives in the mail.

    The problem is, he is supposed to be in Austin, Texas sometime this Monday. And he has to work late here in California this Sunday evening. I've called a couple of places for him that do same day processing of passports, but they all want a valid picture ID plus birth certificate to issue the passport. I know he doesn't have the new license yet, only the temporary no-picture one they issue when you lose your regular one. I'm also not sure if he has any copies of his birth certificate.

    There is no way to take a commercial flight without your driver's license as ID now. There is also no way he can drive in that time frame, and from a couple people I've checked with, I've been told you now have to have a picture ID for a Greyhound bus, not that he'd ever make it to Austin from Los Angeles in time on a bus.

    So, does anyone know of anywhere to get a same-day picture ID? Either that, or if any private pilot(Cessna, etc.) might be going either to or near Austin from Los Angeles this Monday, and if he can hitch a ride with the private pilot? Or do you need a picture ID for this too?

    As far as I can tell, he is already SOL on this one, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

    He's screwed. Hope he can suck up to his boss.

    Please disregard my message above. I called him at work 15 minutes ago, and he already called and had the execs remove his name from the possibility of this promotion. Thanks!

    With every new homeland security measure, illegal immigrant measure and new labor law, the day draws closer that you'll need a gov't issued picture ID to do just about anything.

    Arizona issues DLs and IDs same day. He could've driven to the nearest AZ DMV, got the ID then caught a flight. Might be a huge pain in the ass, but a good promotion could be worth it.

    generally people will accept seeral other forms of identification, i.e. a social security card, brith certificate, and proof of residence, in place of a photo ID.
