Of course not, but in the context of your BOB, or as pizzaman called it in the parent post, a Mini-BOB, would be the first, and perhaps ONLY, thing he'd grab in a sudden evac. Your wallet could still be sitting on the dresser.

Yes, many states could verify your identity at the DMV with just your print and checking the photo, but unless there's some special disaster-issuing capability that I'm not aware of, the replacement license would still take weeks to arrive in the mail (And mailed to where? The shelter you're staying at? Fun.)

I still think getting a duplicate license before disaster strikes and keeping it in your BOB (or Mini-BOB in particular) would be a good idea. Your "old" license may not be technically valid anymore and may get confiscated by the bouncers at your favorite danceclub when they run it through their ID-checking machine (again, fun. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ), but for things like proving who you are, where you live, renting a car, etc. after a disaster, it would be fine and could really come in handy.

Keeping a state issued ID in your BOB would be an alternative, although you couldn't rent a car with it.
