When I moved to Florida, we had to get car licenses, registrations, and driver's licenses. It's my understanding that the driver's license is a real ID and I'm certainly allowed to vote with it here (and you know what jerks they are in Florida). But I did not have a copy of my divorce in any form, not certified or otherwise, and they let it go after great debate and a few phone calls. But this was several years ago, so I imagine that's changed now.
We also had to have things with our names and addresses on them to prove where we lived.
I wasn't being unsympathetic to women who are already in this situation, as I'm in that situation myself. I was speaking about young women contemplating marriage for the first time, and thinking about their options. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
