If big brother would actually have his way, that trip to the FSDO to
get your picture taken might also turn into: Bring all your logbooks,
submit a blood sample, submit a hair sample, and please step into the
polygraph room before we can even permit you to step in front of the
camera.

Well, you might mention that to your senators when you write them. Ask
them to omit the blood sample etc.

Besides, I'd like the see the FAA get a hair sample from me!

Do they worry much about FAA ramp checks?

It would make more sense to simply require that the pilot submit photos in
exactly
the same format and method as that currently used for passports.

That's what I was thinking but the post office would charge you $80.00 to
take and seal your info. unless you could have it done for free at a local
FSDO like at the passport agency

Some states drivers license don't expire!

Does anyone know how they're handling the fact that our certificates are
permenant, yet our appearance can change over time? Will we get a new
photograph at every medical? Will we end up with three different cards...
a permenant certificate, a medical, and a photo ID card? I can't see why
they don't keep using the rule where you have to have you're state
driver's license on your person, when flying. I realize state licenses
are not consistent, but the whole idea of this ID is silly, anyway.

I don't want to be charged $80.00 by the post office to seal an envelope!
That is an expense that would only benefits the post office they would have
to make another way to submit your photos like the passport agency bring
yourself birth cert. and some forum of ID and no $80.00 fee from the post
office. I'd be ok with letting a notary charge me a set fee mandated by the
FAA to seal the application/photo envelope at leased it is going to a
private person in most cases and not the post office. Supporting the local
economy

Obviously you haven't spent time in a Colorado DL office lately!

For starters, they've been attacked by a virus that has shut them
down for the entire week. You can take the written or the checkride
but they can't issue the DL.

I'm voting for the same approach as a passport. Go get the photo
at any stripmall, get the application (either online or at the
local post office), bring cash and the current passport to the
post office and a few days later, a new passport appears.

Why can't we use the same approach for the new FAA ID? Same process
only now you add the existing FAA cert.

No passport? No problem. Use your DL or other Govt. issued ID.

This is not rocket science, folks!
