I had to do the same for my state. I think this is ridiculous. I have a passport, I have already proven my citizenship and my license should prove my place of residence. Why does my local motor vehicle department need to do it all over again just so my Driver's License can be used to go through TSA when I fly?
I get what you are saying, and I hope we aren't too far off topic talking about this, but the thread is about IDs and such...
Since you have a passport, you may not have to provide this information for your licence. In the state I live in, there are still two types of driver's licenses. Ones that are "REAL ID" compliant, and those that aren't. So as long as I don't mind bringing my passport every time I fly, I wouldn't need to provide that documentation to get a driver's license. But since I want to use my drivers license, (for me and my teens), I needed to provide the extra documentation. For me, it is actually a positive, now that I have that kind of driver's license, I don't need my passport as often, sort of a passport lite.
