text: how do i get my picture id if the rmv (registry of motor vehicle)is giving me such a hard time? the reason why i waited soo long to get my id was because i moved out from my parents since i was 16. i try going to the rmv to get it at the time but they needed a certified birth certificate. i didn't have one at the time. i had the one given to at birth. (i'm a u.s citizen)  since they were giving me such a hard time then i gave up. now 4 years later i wanted to go back and get my license but yet they were still giving me a hard time.(the law change cuz of all the immigration system) so i said fine i'm trying to get a picture id. they wanted for forms of id i  finally had my certified birth certificate, my s.s, as well as my bill, but the one thing i didn't have is a signature. what should i do??? i mess up everything for my self. they aren't giving you a hard time.  they have specific requirements that are probably spelled out in many of their publications and everyone applying for a license/photo id needs to abide by the same rules.  do you have a voter registration card?  are you 18 at least?  register to vote.  it's a free process and you sign your card and it is proof of residency.  you can pick up a voter registration application at most us post offices, libraries, or contact the voter registration office in your town.  you might think about applying for a us passport.  you submit your passport application along with a copy of your birth certificate and 2 identical photographs.  a passport is a very valid form of id and can give you that proof you need to get other forms of id.  you will need 2 forms of id when you are hired for jobs in the us, too.  last time i had my passport renewed it was about $50 and it is good for 10 years but it can be used for id even after it expires.    you can pick up a passport application at many post office locations, or the process is probably available online by now.
