Proof of residency, New Mexico?

New Mexico is one of three states that still do not require proof of legal status. Because of this, illegal immigrants from other states use false addresses to obtain driver's licenses and IDs. Governor Martinez has ordered the DMV to verify state residency of all foreign citizens who did not submit SSNs when they applied for a license or ID. It is unfortunate that people like your friend are being inconvenienced by New Mexico's inability to prevent driver's license and ID fraud.
