That scan makes a digital image of the front and back of the DL so of course they don't need a paper photocopy, they have the picture of it in the computer.
My doctor's office is the only one I allow to make an image. When I show up for an appointment they click on the name on the screen and my picture pops up. Yup, same ugly guy as in the picture. For all others it is "look but don't touch". They just need a picture to match the name and address on the DL to verify who I am.
A copy of the DL is
NOT a homeland insecurity requirement. In many cases they are required to state that a positive identification was made and that can be done by
looking at the DL to verify the person matches the picture and the address given matches the one on the DL.
