Nick, how do you prove who you are?

You mean besides my unmistakable bouncy gate and obsession with trivia and a femura?

It do mean that, yeah.

Well my identity is in my wallet at all times.

If somebody needs me to prove who I am, I can show them my driver's license.

And as someone who very recently got a driver's license, before that I carried around a passport

or a non-drivers ID.

Which is considered vital to have.

There's a reason various identity documents are called vital records.

Your ID essentially proves you are who you say you are.

And in some cases it allows officials to look you up in various databases, to check for

other records related to your identity.

You have to show your ID to fly on a plane, visit a different country, take the SATs.

Yeah, to drive a car.

And I feel like for people who get their licenses earlier in life, the driver's license moment

is like a big deal.

For me it was a big deal.

Not just because it meant I could drive.

But it was like I suddenly had this hard plastic certification of who I was.

That I was supposed to carry with me pretty much always.

So what if your ID is wrong?

Wrong like there's a typo or my address is wrong?
