I don't think you even read that, if you had you might have noticed a few things:
1) Documentation is not required for an existing customer as long as the bank has a reasonable belief that it knows the customer’s true identity
The discussion was about opening new accounts.
Quote:
2) the section titled: Verification Through Nondocumentary Methods. Which discusses the means by which a person can prove their identity without documentary evidence.
Yes, and it requires a written, Board approved identification verification protocol for those who cannot produce a non-expired government-issued photo ID.
I've lived in 4 states as an adult, and have been asked for a photo ID every single time. You even have to provide a photo ID in several states to buy certain OTC meds.
She received both medicare and social security for many decades since her husband died. In order to receive them she provided a copy of her birth certificate and her marriage license, there is still no requirement for a photo ID to receive benefits. Any other questions?
Was this before the Patriot Act requirements came into play ?

Exactly. Certified documents that can only be issued to certain persons.

I already said it was several decades ago, but in 2016 there is still no photo id requirement to get social security benefits, click on that highlighted text, that's a link to the information on the SS website.

I'm not sure about you but I opened a bank account with a library card and my 4th grade report card, as that is my highest education level. This was done years before the patriot act changed the rules, at which time I was put on the terrorist watch list because my ethnicity... But that did allow me to vote in 3 different places with my American, my French, and my Algerian name.
Unfortunately in my state, they do ask your name and mark you off the list. However, I got around that by stating religious custom and was allowed to wear my headgear... So I duped the election individual.
Moral of the story: those who want to believe that requiring an id to vote is oppression won't change their political and anecdotally based position.
Exactly. Certified documents that can only be issued to certain persons.
Every state that has imposed the requirement for a voter ID has required a photo ID, not a certified birth certificate, not a certified document. And most of these states require additional proof of identity if the name you are currently using does not match that on your birth certificate so without a proof of name change or divorce decree you can't get a voter ID.
But if you don't have a 'certified' birth certificate SS will help you file an affidavit in lieu of one. I had another great aunt whose birth certificate was destroyed in the SF earthquake and fire, when she applied for benefits she filed an affadavit signed by two people who knew her and her parents from when she was young.
I think some of the younger posters on here don't realize that photo ID was not always the norm. I believe it has been fewer than 20 years since NJ made it mandatory to have a photo on your driver's license. New drivers had photos but for the rest of us, the photo version was optional for a long time if you renewed by mail.
People like my mother have been collecting SS since before that.
