I'm trying to decide between ordering a Louisiana ID or a Wisconsin ID, and I could use some input from people with experience.

My situation:
• Currently living in Louisiana
• Will primarily use locally, but occasionally travel to neighboring states
• Want something that won't raise eyebrows or look suspicious

My thinking:

Option 1: Get Louisiana (home state)
Pros: Makes sense to have local ID, won't seem odd
Cons: Bouncers/cashiers here see them daily, might scrutinize more?

Option 2: Get Wisconsin (different state)
Pros: Less familiarity might mean less scrutiny, common for students to have out-of-state IDs
Cons: Might raise questions about why I have an out-of-state ID while living here

What do you guys think? Has anyone used an out-of-state ID in their home state successfully? Or is it better to just match where you live?

Also open to other state suggestions if there's a particular state that's known to work well anywhere.

How strict were they about the photo requirements? I'm a bit worried about getting rejected.

This happened to me too. It resolved itself after about a day. Just be patient.

Compared to cheap alternatives that get rejected or confiscated, this is actually a bargain.
