Joining the USCF with no formal ID

Sort:

I do not have any formal identification.  No driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID of any kind. 

I would like to join the USCF and start playing in tournaments but I was wondering if that would be possible with no ID.

Does anyone know?  Thanks.

johnmusacha

So is it possible?

Maybe just call up the USCF in Tennessee and ask them?

All I have is my old college ID, that I still use to get student discounts at the movie theatre.

I also have a Starbucks gift card with over $5,000 on it.

Maybe the USCF will trade you a membership card for your Starbucks card.

Why don't you get some kind of formal ID then?

Because I don't want one.  Why should I get a formal ID?

No drivers license?!  How do you drive that Caddy around?

I have an older guy drive me around in my car(s).  I actually am licensed to drive, I just lost the card itself some time ago.

Drivers' licenses expire every eight years in Florida, no?

johnmusacha

Yes, that is true.  Eight years.

They've never asked me for ID.  I just filled in the blanks and gave them my credit card number.

Well, I don't have any credit cards either.

Come to think of it, nobody ever asked for my ID, either.  I paid cash at the tourney.

                You can register on line. The USCF does't care WHO you are, they just want your money.   Jesus Johnny, you have a $5000. Starbucks card??  I hope its decaf.

Maybe he wants to be a professional "loser".

There is nothing "loser" about wanting to steer clear of the "man".  What do I need an ID for?
