Forms of identification we do not accept are social security cards (no photo or identifying information), birth certificates (no photo), school ID (despite being from a public school, it still is not government issue, there is no identifying information on the ID, and no format that is consistent state-wide), library card (....not a friggen ID), and many other possibilities (credit card, insurance card, barnes and noble card, blood donor card, CA$H).

lol at the "library card" and "CA$H" parts!

Why is there "no identifying information" on school IDs? It certainly has a real name and photo, at least. If those school photos are good and important enough to put on "missing child" posters, surely they can get one into a con.

I'm just saying this from how I see it, but it doesn't contain your birthdate, it doesn't actually say "John Smith is 5'10" with brown eyes and red hair." Etc.

but MY GOSH...school ID has (well mine has) 1. school name 2. your name 3. grade level 4. YOUR FREAKING SCHOOL ID #(which has been the same as far as i know, since middle school..maybe even elementary..but i have no clue about that) 5. there's a RECENT photo of you (i mean, *gasp* it's even been taken within a year!) 6. mine even has the SCHOOL ADDRESS on the back.
YES, it doesn't have your height (have they ever heard of growth spurts?), YES, it doesn't have your hair color (what about dying your hair), it doesn't have your eye color..but does that really matter when you have a PHOTO of yourself? i mean, really it's a PAIN in the butt to get a state ID. i see no use of spending a good $23 dollars on getting a state ID when i'll probably get my driver's license in a few months after Fanime. So basically the $23 will be added to the $45 entry fee to Fanime amking $65 when i already PRE REGISTERED. *sarcastic* look how much pre registering saved me!
