I may be new to TER but not to the hobby.  Would this be acceptable if I wanted to see someone states side?

Everyone is different in what they accept. All you can do is ask the individual ladies you plan to see.

Some will probably accept them while others may not.  Suggest you ask the provider ahead of time.  The alternative would be to join one or more of the verification sites.

Sometimes I just think it would be easier to bring a Canuck sp with me lol  I know the laws in the states differ from here, but what I find odd is that anyone flying/or driving needs a passport to do so which has all personal info listed.  I'd have no problem producing it for a reliable sp, key word being reliable.  I have never used bp and never will... review boards have always been the best and safest bet...  pun intended for where I am planning to go.  :p
