Well, they have a 30day limit for registering your car and getting a new license after you move to NY. We're a bit over that already. Passport is 6-8 week wait.
And it still wouldn't get rid of the SS requirement, that's above and beyond any and all other forms of ID. It's prior DL, SS card, PLUS at least one other form of ID (in our case two, because they rank them by 'points', and you need two points worth... :P ), PLUS a proof of birthdate. A passport would be 4pts *and* proof of birthdate, but we'd still need the SS card.

Most fucked up red tape I've seen in a while.
