Consider this, if you tamper with the mail it becomes a federal offense.

If the licenses are printed in only one location, it's easier to secure it.

You will have a second system looking at the data for irregularities.

Personally I think it makes sense.

    You may have a point there. But then again, I'm a little biased. I live in the ghetto and people go through each others mail and occasionally steal it. I've had letters with holiday money and/or gift cards stolen out of the hallmark they were in. Anything I can get without it being left unattended seems more secure to me.

HUGS!

I will be starting the name change process on Wednesday. A lawyer's office is holding a clinic, and this morning I got an email with the list of what I need to bring. Holy crap, they want every address I've ever lived at. I'm 59 years old and have moved around a bit. I've spent the whole afternoon searching through old licenses, receipts, loan paperwork, club membership cards, etc., and I think I've got them all. Good thing I'm a packrat. I guess it wouldn't compare to a miltary family, but I've found 12 addresses so far.

They also want any criminal cases or traffic violations I've ever had. Good grief, I ran a stop sign 30 years ago, but I sure don't have any details!

BTW, this is being processed in Florida...

I don't think you need every address you live at. Even for background / security clearance - you need only last 5/10 years...

Yes, the Florida name change petition requires you to list every address you've lived at since birth. (Their name change forms are some of the most extensive in the country.)

Personally I think that asking for everywhere you've ever lived in your life, even as an infant or small child, is a bit excessive (some people may honestly not even know about those addresses without asking others who knew them if it was before they were old enough to remember). Now something like every address since age 18 or the minimum age you could have a criminal record from would be understandable.
