Another Newbie question...
I would like to sign up with Shutterstock but I've heard that they require a passport as I.D. Problem is I don't have a current passport and I think it costs about $120 to get one. Can I use a driver's license? I live in the United States. Thanks.

Depends on the country you are from https://www.shutterstock.com/contributorsupport/articles/kbat02/000006633

Hello
Justanotherphotographer,
I realize it depends on the country. That's why I stated I live in the U.S. I read that article before and it states: "In some cases, a valid driver’s license may be permitted from certain countries." I would like to know if the U.S. is one of those "certain" countries. I don't want to sign up and go through the Q&A song and dance if in the end they tell me I need a passport - which I don't have yet. Takes a while to get and cost money$$$$.... I thought maybe someone in the forum had recently signed up with them and could tell me if a driver's license was good enough. Anyone?

For anyone interested, I finally took the plunge and signed up with Shutterstock. I was very hesitant because I thought that they required a passport (about $140 to obtain) to sign up but all the asked for was a driver's licence.
