    Well, well. Alberta’s UCP wanted to drop privacy standards surrounding health and health cards by tying Alberta health cards to Driver’s Licenses.

    Besides the crush of people jamming the local Registrar’s for their license, some of whom face multiple unexpected hurdles before getting theirs, Albertans are learning that their Health coverage expires.

    Worse, now the simple act of handing out one’s Driver’s License to, say, rent out a vehicle, means you’re also handing out your credentials for your health and your citizenship status. Do you think that local private businesses have raised their standard of care concerning your private information? Do you think that these local private businesses will accept greater liability for any misuse or mishandling of your very important personal credentials? I don’t think so.

    Do you think the publicly disarmed Alberta Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta is even remotely equipped or consulted for this real world scenario of privacy violations?

    Do you think your local car rental company should have your Health Card information so you can rent a car?

    Rent a pressure washer?

    Rent a U-Haul?

    Take that test drive at your local car dealer?

    What might you feel if your Driver’s License/Proof of Citizenship/Health Care Card is now automatically stolen and sold in bulk online? Do you think you can cancel it and get a new one? How many times do you think you might have to do this? How many times do you think you can actually do this?

    How do you feel when you learn that this new regime for Alberta Driver’s Licenses was to…address fraud?

    It’s almost like the UCP forgot what compartmentalization means…or why it was once considered a safety feature to separate parts of your work life and personal life to avoid being hacked.

  10. Florida’s new law will require immigration or citizenship status to appear on new, renewed, and replacement driver’s licenses and IDs starting in 2027. That makes it a significant policy shift because it moves immigration status into everyday identity documents.

  11. This is why we can't have nice things!

  13. I'm currently try to renew my driving license, because my current "unlimited valid" driving license isn't valid any more. I have so far:

    - Searched the websites of my current and former driver license offices for information about the process
    - downloaded a Word-document
    - fixed the formatting of the document
    - tried to find out my address where I lived when I first got my license over 5000 years ago

  16. The lawsuit took aim at a #state #law known as the #DriversLicense Access & #Privacy Act, or the "Green Light Law," which the state enacted in 2019 & allowed migrants in the US illegally to obtain driver's licenses.

    The #law directed the state's #DMV to accept various foreign documents as proof of identification & age for standard licenses & barred the state agency from inquiring about the #immigration status of applicants.
