What makes the registry ID more susceptible to forgery than a driver's
license? The two look almost identical, from what I've seen.

(Or maybe it's worrying that the clerks have no idea what to look for 
in a non-license ID, so they're told not to look at all?)

An on-line database could "solve" the forgery problem, but it would add
all kinds of new ones.
