A friend calls to our attention one of the odder policies at work across the nation.
If you want to rent a post office box, you must provide two forms of identification. The Postal Service will accept several kinds, from a driver's license to a mortgage to a university or business ID card. And it will take an alien registration card or a certificate of naturalization. But not a birth certificate.
Got that? If you're a legal resident alien and have the papers to prove it, the Postal Service will accept them. But if you're a born-in-the-U.S.A. citizen and have the papers to prove it — well, tough luck, kiddo. In the Postal poker game, an alien registration card beats a birth certificate every time. There's something seriously wrong with this picture.
