As far as I know, there is no legal requirement to obtain either a DL or an "identification certificate" so it could be entirely impossible for one to comply with this law as written.
Can you even get a LTC if you don’t have either a TDL or a state-issued ID card? I genuinely don’t know the answer to that, but if I had to guess, I’d guess that you could not get a LTC without having some other kind of state issued ID. That begs the question.... if you’re applying for a non-resident LTC, do you have to have photo ID issued by your state of residence?

Inquiring minds want to know.
