To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
1) A list, preferably in a table, of driver license applications submitted in the state of North Carolina between Jan 1, 2014 to present by people born in Puerto Rico. This should include the date the application was submitted, the person's current residence, their birthplace (Puerto Rico) and if the application was approved, pending or denied and the reason why it is pending or denied.
2) A description of the process and/or policies used to verify the eligibility of people in Puerto Rico for a driver's license in North Carolina.
3) Copies of all materials and/or instructions used to verify the citizenship of people born in Puerto Rico.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. As I am a member of the media and this information will be used to inform the public, I request a fee waiver for this request. Also, as this is urgent public information, I request that it be expedited.
In the event that there are fees, I would be willing to pay up to $10 and I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Molly Redden

2.27 State GS §20-4.01(45)
A state, territory, or possession of the United States, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a province of Canada, or the Sovereign Nation of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians with tribal lands, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1151, located within the boundaries of the State of North Carolina. For provisions that apply to commercial driver's licenses, "state" means a state of the United States and the District of Columbia.
4.1 Identity Documents for First Time Customers
Customers who have not been established in the DMV database are considered 1st time customers.
Customers applying for a driver license, learner permit, or Special Identification Card for the first time in North Carolina, will need to provide two documents proving identity[1] from the below list:
One document must have their date of birth.
The name must be the same on both documents. One document will need to show the customer's full name. Notations will need to be made on the customer's record.
EXCEPTION: NAME CHANGE BY MARRIAGE OR DIVORCE WITH PROPER DOCUMENTATION.
NOTE: IF ONE DOCUMENT STATES JOHN J. SMITH AND ANOTHER DOCUMENT STATES JOHN JAMES SMITH THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.
The documents cannot come from the same category (e.g. two school documents).
A document may be held for a brief time in order to validate the document or verify its information. Altered documents are not acceptable. Examiners are not allowed to mark on the document or otherwise tamper with it.
1. Driver License, Learner's Permit, or Identification Card from another state, Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory or a Canadian province
* A valid, unexpired DL/ID/LP with a photo (Consult your Chain of Command for any documents without a photo, these will be approved on a case-by-case basis)
* A Classified Regular A or B DL/LP with a photo expired less than one year
* A Commercial A, B or C with a photo expired less than one year
* A Classified C DL/LP or its equivalent with a photo expired less than two years
* An ID with a photo expired less than two year
NOTE: SOME STATES CONSIDER A LICENSE HELD BY A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES TO BE VALID EVEN AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE. IF THE CUSTOMER IS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES AND COMES FROM A STATE THAT ALLOWS AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION OF VALIDITY, THEN WE WILL NEED TO ACCEPT THAT LICENSE AS VALID. THESE MUST BE CONSIDERED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. USE THE ID CHECK GUIDE TO DETERMINE IF THE STATE IS ONE WHICH FOLLOWS THIS PROCEDURE.
1. Certified birth certificates issued by a government agency in the U.S., Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, Canada, or a Report of Consular Birth Abroad
* No photocopies allowed, unless certified by issuing agency
* Delayed Birth Certificates will be accepted as proof of identity for NCDMV purposes. Delayed Birth Certificates are indeed birth certificates; however, they were issued after the child was more than a year old when registering the birth with the government agency. [2]
1. Certified copy of marriage certificate from a Register of Deeds or appropriate government agency in the U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. territory, or Canada.
1. Court documents from U.S. jurisdiction, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, or Canada
NOTE: A CDL FROM PUERTO RICO IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO NORTH CAROLINA. (they are not in CDLIS)
