Is it permissible for a financial institution to require driver's licenses or other state-issued IDs only from the current state of residence? Wouldn't any ID, issued by the federal government or any state, suffice? Surely a driver's license or like ID from any state in the union must be sufficient under the Patriot Act!
How happy is the sponsor with that financial institution? Sounds like there is sufficient cause to find a different institution to handle their plan's assets.
