I don't think it is. I know all of the states around me when I first got my license in the early 80s had "paper" drivers licenses without pictures. The transistion to pictures occured in the mid 80's. Technology made photo ID's much easier around then. Before, they would have to take a paper "photo" and laminate it along with a paper license. The ability to print photos onto plastic licenses just didn't widely exist much earlier.

Well, if they're asking you to submit it to EVERY venu, I agree that is unnecessary. Only the state certification should need access to the info. Being certified by the state should be sufficient to the venus to indicate that your check has been done.
