South Carolina DMV was a piece of cake. Even got “Veteran” on my license ( for some reason). In and out no problems.

Doing the TSA Pre-Check paperwork was twice as difficult as the Real ID papers.
The Real ID was a breeze. |

1) I don't need a RealID from my state, as my work ID covers that 2) For TSA Pre-check, all I had to do was check a box on my travel site to opt in (for free) :D |
^^^ I applied for the TSA right at the beginning when they offered it.
Had to make an appointment at a local gov't building. Closed door meeting with a lady that asked me many questions...filled out forms...had to show birth certificate, DL, and passport. Took a good half hour to finish. |

You know what is a real ID (for free), doesn't require trip at the DMV, and a real benefit at the border ? A global entry card.
Sure you pay for Global Entry (one time for 5y), but man I recently passed through immigration in SFO in literally 47 seconds ( I timed it) vs 1H+ for the rest of the poor bastards at the tail end of the plane. And yeah, it's a real ID and same size as a driver license. |
My wife and I both have our Real ID and our TSA Pre-check. We also have passports. We did it all to make sure we were prepped to go anywhere in the world should our NAVY daughter need us there. Going through airports is a breeze. The TSA Pre-check and the pass ports were the biggest pains to get. Real ID was a piece of cake.

The last person I know in Illinois that went to get one set up an appointment and it took nearly 4 hours anyway. In fact they had a bunch of people waiting due to their incompetence and just sent them home with "Make another appointment".
As you can imagine many of us don't have them. |
Last time I checked (8 years ago) I don’t think South Carolina was set up yet to issue them.
That said my license is good to 2025. They are good for 10 years. |

I’m lucky in that my retired military ID card is considered real ID.

Nice to know the government bureaucrats recognize an ID from a military source as your real identity. |
