3. Many, many people have similar problems.

One document with a different spelling, or using a nickname instead of the name on the birth certificate, and it's a nightmare.

Here in New Mexico it's a huge problem as many Hispanics are (from my perspective) quite casual about which name, names, or nicknames they might use at any given time.

Personally, I don't want to give my Social Security number out, which is stupidly one of the requirements for the Real ID drivers license. I might show them a photo copy of my card with the first five digits blacked out, and highlight the "Not to be used for identification" line.

I intend to keep a current passport and will use that when I fly, if need be.
