The real WTF is that the US of A, oldest and most powerful alliance of states in the world still requires you to get a driving license from your state of residence. This really should be a federal gov issued document. (IANA: I am not american)
At least in europe we have that: <font size="2">The ninth recital of Directive 91/439/EEC stipulates explicitly that the obligation to exchange driving licences within a year in the event of change of State of normal residence constitutes an obstacle to the free movement of persons and is inadmissible in the light of the progress made within the framework of European integration.</font>
My driving license stipulate what type of vehicule I am capable of driving. I doesn't not serve as a proof of residence or identity, nor does my healthcare card or my (long gone) student id card, so it really doesn't matter if I got it in Germany, France or anywhere else. A car is still a car. For the rest I have had a passport since the age of 11.
