It's my understanding that to renew this go-around will require a certified copy of a birth certificate and a social security card (not a photo copy).I'll have to renew in February. Anyone been through this recently?

This is because Louisiana is being "forced" to join with other states to better assure identification of US citizens from illegals. It might be aggravating but I support doing something to resolve the illegals' problems. I also understand that when we have to renew our passports there will be some extra steps/documentation needed.
