LIVING SKILLS *How to get your Driver’s License 1. If you are age 14 to 17, you must take and pass a driver’s training course. 2. To become a licensed driver if you are under 18 years of age, you must have your parent’s consent. 3. If you are between 15 and 18, you must have your parent’s consent, you must pass a written driver’s test and you must be attending school. For additional information call the Sheriff’s Department at 382-7158. *How to apply for a Social Security Card You must have a Social Security card when you start work,
whether it is a part-time or full-time job. If you were born in the U.S.A. and
have never had a Social Security number, you must complete a free form, which
you can obtain by calling 1-800-772-1213 or from the Internet at http://www.ssa.gov.
You must present documents that show your age, citizenship, and who you are. You
must supply original documents; they will not accept photocopies. Usually your
birth certificate and some form of identity, such as a driver’s license,
school record, or medical record will be sufficient. Although they prefer to see
your birth certificate, they will also accept a religious or hospital record of
your birth made before you were five years old. To obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate contact the Idaho Vital Statistics Office in Boise at 334-5988. If born in another state, must contact vital statistics in that state capital. *How to Register to Vote You can fill out a voter registration form either at the courthouse in Cascade, the court annex in McCall or at the polling place on election day. After filling out the voter registration card, you must provide proof of residence. You must be at least 18 years old, and a citizen of the United States. You must have been a resident of Idaho and the county for at least 30 days before the election at which you vote, and must not have any legal disqualification to vote. Be aware that anyone giving false information to become registered to vote is guilty of perjury. *How to Register for the Draft All males must register with the Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18. Applications are available at any Post Office or registration may be done on the Internet at www.sss.gov. *How to open a Checking or Savings Account at a Bank To open a new checking or savings account, you must present at least one form of identification (preferably a picture ID) to the bank official. A minimum deposit is usually required to open an account. The local banks have different charges for their services. Signature cards are required for all accounts, and some banks may require two signatures if you are under 18 years of age.
