Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

Hello!

I've been wanting to go to YaoiCon for years, and although my ride dropped out on me, I still might be able to go for the day. I am (obviously) over eighteen, but I have a bit of a problem with proving that... :oops:

That is, I have no driver's license or permit (I'm not driving yet), no passport (I've never been out of the country), and a state photo ID takes a really long time for our county to process, so there's no way I could get one by Saturday when I'm hoping to go.

I was wondering, what other forms of ID would you accept? I feel really bad that I don't have any of the normal forms of ID, but I've only been eighteen since March and thusfar I haven't needed an ID for anything I've done.

I have my college photo ID card (which has no birthday on it), my Wildlife Rehabilitator license card (which, again, lacks a birthday, though you need to be eighteen to get one), and I could theoretically bring my birth certificate (either the real one or a copy of it), but I'm not sure if you'd accept that.

So...um, any ideas what I could bring to prove my age? Would my birth certificate and my college and wildlife rehabber IDs be all right (which both have photos)? Or is there something else I could bring?

HELP!

I'm not a staff member, but I remember reading the registration FAQ's

(ganked word for word from the registration FAQ's)

"Q: When I photocopy my driver's license, the birth date isn't legible. What do I do?
A: Use another form of ID on which your photo, name and birth date are visible. Try your passport or a combo like school ID plus birth certificate."

So it sounds like what you're proposing is within their suggestion. Hopefully a staffer will get back to you and confirm. Good luck!

Thank you! Now I'm not sure I'm going, but it's really great to know if I decide otherwise at the last minute.

I appreciate your help!
