In the US a driver's license is the primary form of identification for everything, so it does a lot more than just say "this person passed a driver's test." If the person didn't have a driver's license they would need a state ID (also with a photo) for many things - writing checks for example.

Furthermore, her religion DOESN'T say she can't be photographed at all. It jsut says she can't uncover her face in front of men - and they were willing to acoomodate that.

Besides, even if it did, what if a person's religion says they need to cut off a dog's head every month. Where does the state bending for the believer end? Do we just ignore animal cruelty laws for that person?
