PennDOT changing certificate policy  DUNMORE - The state
Department of Transportation will stop accepting Puerto Rican
birth certificates as a valid proof of identity when applying
for a driver's license on Oct. 30.  A law passed by the Puerto
Rican government last year invalidated birth certificates issued
before July 1, 2010, intended to fight use of Puerto Rican birth
certificates to fraudulently obtain other proofs of identity.
People born in Puerto Rico need to apply for a new birth
certificate in order for it to be valid.
