of course i lived in north Carolina. their id's were just as good as the ones i got back in high school in 1984. hell i could do better id's at home that they did at the dmv there. most of the southern states arent any better.
printers that they use for those id's they give you right away are cheaper and easier to counterfeit than those used in other states where they mail them to you.

NC's Dmv has been a cluster for a heap long time
http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=13003&ArticleId=324460 From Jan. 1, 2002, to Aug. 28, 2006, North Carolina permitted the use of a taxpayer identification number, an ITIN or W-7, so that residents lacking a Social Security number could apply for a driver's license.
During that period, the Division of Motor Vehicles issued 220,983 licenses valid for five years to applicants presenting the ITIN as identification, the majority of them undocumented immigrants of Hispanic origin.
