It might be a religious diversity issue if a driver's license was something she was required to have in order to live here, but it's not. She's asking for permission to drive in the state of Florida and the state is saying "all drivers have photo IDs that allow officers to quickly determine whether or not the person on the license is the person driving" - it's a two-way agreement. She doesn't have to enter into it, but if she wants to, she has to have a photo ID.
It does seem like there ought to be a way around it, like tatooing something on her hand and putting a picture of that on the license, but I'm not sure but that might violate her religious beliefs anyway. Besides, a tatoo could be duplicated, whereas (so far) a face really can't. I'd also be interested in a safety study on how safe it is to drive while wearing a veil.
