    I thought maybe there is some special provision for issuing driver’s licenses in Native American territory (Pamunkey) or something. We have these clowns here in Germany as well. They’re pretty much the same way. Somewhat hilarious folk. Some of them even planned a coup d’état a few years ago - even that was kind of funny because it was so absurd and awfully planned.

      Nope, drivers licenses are still only issued by the state, however I do register my cars through my tribe for a cheaper price and (imho) a better looking plate. Our CDIB cards are just that proof that you are a member of a tribe and to what degree your lineage is (1/2, 1/4, etc)… some tribes though have reissued ID cards for the CDIB that can act as a “real ID” (like mine) but I’ve yet to try to use it that way as my drivers license is more than enough for that situation. I can also use it as a secondary ID for i9, loans, etc but I don’t think it can use as a primary on those (usually driver license, passport, and birth certs are for primary)

        Well, that’s some really interesting inside info. Thanks a million. Lemmy is really the shit: I’m just a rando thousands of miles away. And yet I still get quality answers to my naive questions. Wonderful; thank you!
