My old card was laminated, that and a birth certificate. Dmv refused to take either because of the lamination.
Does the lamination make it impossible to see the watermarks? Because that seems like a legit reason to reject them. Even if the system is flawed with this restriction ๐
My first ss card was very basic. Only a background image all clearly visible and it was falling apart until I laminated it.
The birth certificate clearly showed the seal and was still raised even with the limainate sheet over.
It certainly didn't hide or obscure anything.
Been there, done that (not American, similar scenario, different card). I felt the person at the counter wasn't in mood and was trying to make my day worse. Just saying "You legally have to" and if not they won't budget, "I would like to speak with your superior".
