Authorize. net's policy on extracting customer data is the following (1 of 5 stars):Summary:Cost: $750.00Sign legal waivers4-8 week processMust stop taking credit cards for 2-3 daysYour customer data is mailed in 2 parts, snail mailThe following is quoted:"There is a fee for this service at the rate of $250.00 per hour spent extracting the data, with a $500.00 minimum. Considering the amount of records to extract presently, that cost would be $750.00. You can pay this by sending a check or money order to our offices, or we can debit that amount directly from the bank account you have on file with us already. If you choose the second option, that billing will be done on the day we actually perform the extraction. If you choose the first option, then we need to have the check in hand at least a week before the scheduled date of the extraction work.• We will need to have one of your company’s Vice Presidents (or someone with equal or higher authority) sign and return to us a legal waiver for the account before we can start the data extraction process. When you’re ready to proceed, please let me know and I will send you that form.• Due to the process involved, please allow up to 4-8 weeks from the initial processing of paperwork to the delivery of your CIM data. Most requests are processed within four weeks, but this time is subject to fluctuate depending on the number of requests we are handling.• In order to ensure that we extract all of the data, we will ask you to stop adding new CIM profiles prior to the extraction (unless the new ones you are adding are being duplicated somewhere outside of our system where you will already have access to them). If you continue to create CIM profiles after the extraction takes place, then please understand that those will not be included in the information we provide you. I will leave it up to you to set a cut-off date that works best for your business needs, but I ask that you please allow 2-3 business days between that cut-off date and the time we can extract the data. Also keep in mind that we typically need to schedule the actual extraction work 1-2 weeks prior to it actually being completed.• When we extract the data from our system we will do so in two parts. One file will contain all of the data readily available in the Merchant Interface such as names, addresses, e-mail address, etc. The other file will contain the credit card numbers and expiration dates. Both files will also have the Customer Payment Profile ID associated with each CIM profile, which will allow you to join the two files. Both files will be delivered to you using Visa’s SecureMail service."

I'm in Texas. I was a college student here, but I'm originally from New York. My NY ID expired, so I needed to get a new one in Texas. Seems simple enough, right?I couldn't do it.The first thing you have to prove is your identity.There are three ways an individual can verify his/her identity:Bring one item listed in the “Primary Identity Documents” category orBring two items listed in the “Secondary Identity Documents” category orBring one item listed in the “Secondary Identity Documents” category and two documents listed in the “Supporting Identity Documents” categoryThe primary documents areTexas driver license or Texas identification card not expired more than 2 years. Proof of citizenship will be required if not previously establishedNot from TexasUnexpired U.S. passport book or cardDidn't have a passport. Passports are very expensive, by the way…U.S. Certificate of Citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization (N-560, N-561, N-645, N-550, N-55G, N-570 or N-578)Born in the USUnexpired Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services document with verifiable data and identifiable photo, such as one of the following:U.S. Citizen Identification Card (I-179 or I-197)Permanent Resident Card (I-551)Foreign passport with attached temporary I-551 (immigrant visa endorsed with ADIT stamp)Temporary Resident Identification Card (I-688)Employment Authorization Card (I-766)U.S. Travel Document (I-327 or I-571)Advance Parole Document (I-512 or I-512L)I-94 stamped Sec. 208 Asylee with photoI-94 stamped Sec. 207 Refugee with photoRefugee Travel Letter with photo, stamped by Customs and Border ProtectionAmerican Indian Card (I-872)Northern Mariana card (I-873)Foreign passport with attached visa and Form I-94None of these apply to anyone born in the USUnexpired U.S. military ID card for active duty, reserve or retired personnel with identifiable photoCivilianAs a civilian born in the US outside of Texas, I had none of these.In fact, any young, poor would-be voter will likely have none of these, even if they are born in Texas.How about two secondary documents?Original or certified copy of a birth certificate issued by a State Bureau of Vital Statistics or equivalent agency from a U.S. state, U.S. territory, the District of Columbia or a Canadian provinceNOTE: Because Puerto Rican statute provides that Puerto Rican birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010 are no longer valid, the Department cannot recognize these birth certificates as proof of identification or lawful presence. For more information please select the following link. http://prfaa.pr.gov/birthcertificatesnd2.aspFor U.S. citizens born abroad—Certificate of Report of Birth (DS-1350 or FS-545) or Consular Report of Birth (FS-240) issued by the U.S. Department of StateOriginal or certified copy of a court order with name and date of birth indicating a name and/or gender change from a U.S. state, U.S. territory, the District of Columbia or a Canadian provinceObviously no one is going to have both of the first two, since you can't be born both in and out of the US. You only have the third one if you've legally changed your name and/or gender, which I have not. The “two secondary documents” option is pretty insincere.I didn't actually have a copy of my birth certificate though, so that excludes me completely. It costs about $40 to get a copy of your birth certificate and takes weeks. For someone living paycheck-to-paycheck, that's not an option.But wait, there's more!I also had to prove residency. That requires two separate documents. Let's see how I did…Any of the following documents will be accepted to verify an individual’s Texas residency. The two documents provided must be issued by different companies or agencies. For example, an individual may not use a water bill and an electricity bill from the same company.NOTE: Remember, all documents presented must contain the individual’s name and Texas residential address.Current deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, mortgage payment booklet or a residential rental/lease agreementYes, I have a lease agreement. That's one!Valid, unexpired Texas voter registration cardNo. New to the stateTexas motor vehicle registration or titleNo carTexas boat registration or titleNo boat eitherConcealed Handgun License (CHL) or License to Carry (LTC)No gun eitherUtility statement (including electric, water, natural gas, satellite TV, cable TV or noncellular phone bill) dated within 90 days of the date of applicationRenting a campus dorm.

I had to wait until I went back to NY to get a new ID.If you are homeless, staying with friends/family, living in a shelter, couch surfing, etc… you have none of these and cannot get a Texas state ID.Some of the other acceptable forms of voter identification may be easier for certain individuals, but this is hardly a “minor hassle”.
