How do blind people buy beer? (self.Blind)
submitted 7y ago by alittledropofdreams
Sorry if this is an offensive question. If you're blind, you can't get a driver's license, which is the most common form of photo ID. Do you have to carry your passport everywhere? Is there a special 'I Am Blind And Cannot Get A Driver's License So This Is Me' card? How does that work?

Thank you.

the "I Am Blind And Cannot Get A Driver's License So This Is Me" card is called a state ID, they're pretty easy to get, you just have to have a birth certificate and social security card or some other way to prove your age

Iʻve got one of those. I guess it lookslkke a driverʻs license, or those concealed handgun licenses. :)
I could also use a passport or a greencard but donʻt want to carry those around - expensive ro replace if stolen.

It's basically the same for Canada. But you can drink at age 19 here, and I don't think you can get your full G license until age 20 or 21, so a lot of young folks have the ID cards, not just blind people.

You get a Non Driver's State ID. Not even all sighted people can drive!

When I went to America I had to use my passport to use my debit card.
