Along with this, you may be asked to provide proof of residence (a lease/rental/homebuyer's agreement, utility bill, etc. with your name on it), and your Social Security card. It never hurts to bring an additional form of ID, such as a federal or state government employee ID, passport, etc. It should change right over.

What is a primary caucus?

By visiting the listed site, the Fast Times Political Dictionary, we learned that a caucus is: "a private meeting of members of a political party to plan action or to select delegates for a nominating convention." Whereas, a primary is: "[an] election held to nominate a candidate for a particular party at a forthcoming election for public office." While these definitions were helpful, we also decided to search for a little more substantive information. We managed to turn up an article from Bella Online that helped clarify the difference between the two terms. During a primary, voters simply cast their ballot for a particular candidate. A caucus, on the other hand, is more of a party affair, sort of like a town hall meeting. Members gather and hear speeches and engage in discussion before voting for a candidate. The majority of candidates today are selected in primaries

How long after getting off parole in Arkansas for murder can you own a gun?

If you're convicted of a felony, you can't. That's federal law. If you can't purchase one legally now, you won't be able to at any other point from here on out. You can try getting your record expunged, but it'll take a lot of time, a lot of money, and the prospects of it being a successful venture aren't particularly promising.

How old do you have to be to get a learners permit in Arkansas?

You have to be 14 to get your permit and 16 to get your DL.

When you are 14, you can take your written test, and if you pass, you will receive what is called a Learner's Permit. This will allow you to drive with licensed driver age 21 or over. After you have had that permit for at least 3 months, you can take your road test. This is where you drive with an evaluator in the car with you. If you pass this, you will receive what is called a Learner's license. This basically allows you all of the same privelleges as the permit, but when you turn 16, all you have to do is take it to your local revenue office, and exchange it for your regular license. A law was just recently passed saying that anyone 16 and 17 years old can have only one passenger under 18 in the car with them unless there is a licensed driver over 21 present. When you turn 18, you will have a standard license that allows you to drive with anyone of any age in the car with you.

What is the age of consent?

Age of Consent refers to the age at which a minor can consent to a sexual relationship. (How old you need to be to have sex/the minimum age allowed).

Different countries have different laws. Some go as low as 9 (for females) to as high as 25 (for both sexes). The majority are between 16 and 18, with the majority of all others between 14 and 21.

In the US, states establish AOC laws, therefore they are not the same in every state. Some states require a parent's consent, hence the "age of consent". The minimum AOC for any US state is 14; the maximum is 18. Bear in mind that most states and counties have constitutional laws and statutory laws, and authorities may use either in a suspected criminal violation.

If you are resident of the US then you must abide by the laws in your own State if you travel interstate or abroad. Wherever you travel to in the world you will therefore be under the AOC laws in your home state. This measure has been taken to cut sexual predators from committing offenses by traveling away from home.

See "What does the age of consent mean" in the Related Questions below.

Homosexual SexThe age of consent for homosexual sex is not always the same as it is for heterosexual sex. In some States and Countries, homosexual sex is illegal. You must be aware of these details within your Country or region. Legal RamificationsYou can't legally consent to having sex under that age. That means that even if you agree, and even if you want to, and even if you started it, the law says you are too young to consent and the other person (if s/he is over the age of consent) can be charged with having sex with a minor, or rape, or any of several other crimes.
