You can’t get a citizen ID when you’re still on record as having a driver’s licence. You don’t get the option to switch over from one to the other in Mississippi if you’re still on record as having a license.
Been there, tried that. I ain’t had a running car in like 11 years.

You can probably get a nexus card for ID. It’s a federally recognized ID card.

What does this have anything to do with travel between states within the USA?

Yes I looked it up, that’s for travelling between countries, which I have no need, plan or intent to do.

Hey, got your dm but figured it was better to answer here.
That’s its intended purpose yes but it’s still a valid ID that doesn’t require you to surrender your driver’s license. I believe there’s a paper version of their forms if you can’t get local assistance.

Oh, okay, cool cool, today I learned a thing. 👍
I think you might have slightly misunderstood me though, I mean that the DMV wouldn’t even allow me to surrender my license to get a simple citizen ID, even though that’s what the police department expected me to do after my first and only DUI a decade ago.
That was a long time ago, and I tried to do everything right and proper. But it was like the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing, as technically my license was suspended for 4 years, yet the DMV refused to issue a plain non-driver ID, they just reprinted my license.
Sigh, all that was long ago, I’ve long ago resolved all these things, and I’m not about to make the same mistake again. I don’t even have a motor vehicle anymore, I usually just ride as a passenger anymore. The few occasions I do need to borrow a vehicle, I simply don’t drink ya know.
Still, weird that the DMV refused to issue me a non-driver ID during that 4 year suspension, like did they even actually suspend my license in the first place?
