What constitutes a temporary Pocket ID?

A temporary Pocket ID serves as a provisional identification for individuals who have applied for a dealer license but are waiting for the issuance of the official ID. The correct choice, a photocopy of a mailed and paid application, is valid because it provides tangible proof that the application process has been initiated and confirmed. This documentation indicates that all necessary fees have been paid, thus legitimizing the individual’s status as a dealer in the interim period before the official ID arrives.

This choice is the most defensible because it relies on a documented trail of the application process, which can be verified by authorities or anyone requiring proof of the temporary status.

In contrast, the other options lack adequate documentation or official status. A handwritten note from the dealership does not provide sufficient verification of an application or payment. Verbal confirmations are not reliable forms of identification as they cannot be substantiated by physical evidence. Similarly, a printed email confirmation may not have the necessary official acknowledgment of the application’s payment status or approval. Therefore, only the photocopy serves as a legitimate temporary Pocket ID while waiting for the official documentation.
