Out of State I. D and Marriage License

If you move to New York from any other state (like Florida) when you go to get your license your out of state I. D is not considered proof of your name. I know that for a fact. I was married in Florida 19 years ago, when we moved here I waited 3 years to drive. I had a Florida State I. D card, marriage license, New York bank account, N. Y business license, Federal and New York State tax returns, New York voters registration and proof of utilities and my social security card. All under my married name-Susan Linda George - Jelis (I still have ALL those papers including tax returns) The problem? New York told me my Florida I. D card was not valid in N. Y as proof I was married and changed my name! I was told I wasn't married in N. Y so I would have to go to court and get it changed here. I showed them my name changed, social security card, needed first to get my Florida State I. D after marriage. No Good. My Federal and N. Y tax returns-no good. My N. Y business license/No Good. What was considered Good? I could only have my name hyphenated George (maiden) Jelis (husbands) if I could show them a CREDIT CARD with my name hyphenated. My credit was under my husbands name! So if you move here be aware all the real I. D you have is not needed. Throw those away because all you need is a credit card real or not. No real I. D is accepted.By the way they just keep renewing that for me. I've had 4 photo's taken but they said I did not need a new updated photo since I moved here and got a license in 1994. That's right 1994. They send a picture to me I guess is similar since most people change after 14 years. Once again, as I have posted here before, no one will ever look at my paperwork or speak to me so I will tell others to save them the same grief I have spent years trying to get help with here. Will I move? No. I can keep informing others.
