Well, the scanning part could be easy, if a bit expensive, and will only 
work if the DL and registration are just about the same size so that can be 
fed back-to-back:

You've probably seen this or the equivalent at the front desk of every 
medical office. Note that in some states, Tennessee for example, the two 
documents are not even similar in size, the registration being a full A4 
type sheet while the DL is your regular laminated card. Also, if the cards 
being scanned are overly thick feeding both simultaneously would be 
troublesome or impossible.

None of this will be cheap so, if your friend is too hard up to afford 
paper paper, all of this is a pipe dream.
