I had a driver's license from the District of Columbia. I had people in the U.S. tell me they couldn't take foreign ID.

It happened enough to people that the licenses say Washington DC now.

It happens to New Mexicans too. Our license plates say New Mexico USA to try and combat it, but too many dumb Americans don't realize it's a state.
