ALEXANDRIA, Va.-NCUA Chairman Dennis Dollar wrote a letter to Congressman Rubn Hinojosa (D-Texas) earlier this month stating that the matricula consular cards are an acceptable form of identification at credit unions under the U.S.A. Patriot Act. The congressman had raised questions about the Mexican identification cards during an earlier hearing on regulatory relief. According to Dollar, NCUA is familiar with the cards and the regulations implementing the Patriot Act include language to permit the use of the matricula cards.
