Proof of identity?
Sep. 4th, 2007 10:41 pmMore Surprises:
I have name-based ID e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e
It's coming in line. I have BCID, bank card, SFU Library, SFU internal database, and now, after more than a month of visits to the registar's, a matching U-Pass - I said "it seems to have the wrong picture on it, can you print me a new one?" This, finally, worked, and now I don't have to fish through my wallet whenever I see Translink police, because now my U-Pass and other ID match.
SFU and ICBC will only give you new ID when you turn in your old ones. I hand over an old name, I get back the right one. The bind is that the picture ID is the top priority on replacement, but I also want to hold onto the old pictures. As I lose them, I feel like he/I is/am slowly being erased, falling into smoke and drifting away from us and into the otherworld.
You see, I cannot remember my father's face, and there are so few photos of him.
I have yet to replace my passport, medicare, credit card, Vancouver library card, and my birth certificate. Eventually there will be no card to say that he/I ever existed.
( Proof, I guess. )
