I don't have a "Real ID" ...
 
Don't have a valid passport either (expired).

I have no plans to get one either.

Anybody else?

Skytrooper 05-04-2025 02:03 AM

I have both.

stevej37 05-04-2025 02:18 AM

Both here also.

No worries...you still have until Wednesday to get one. :)

No choice in Florida, we went to RealId drivers licenses ages ago

I'm leaving to go get in line ... might as well be a Taylor Swift ticket line tho' ... no chance :D

Crowbob 05-04-2025 03:13 AM

Both.

I had to renew my regular DL about a month ago so I did it online. Very convenient.

However, in all the info and the instructions and whatnot not one mention was made of the deadline quickly approaching for the Real ID. About a week later I get a notice telling me about the Real ID deadline and that I can get one for $9. It also advised that it is free if you apply for a real ID at the time of renewal.

So I go in to the DMV to see if I can get a real ID because just days earlier I renewed my license without the Real ID BS.

Nope. $9, please. Had the lady behind the counter not been so cute I would have yelled at her about what a POS our governor is for not automatically telling people the real ID is FREE upon renewal. Instead I calmly advised her that this crap is exactly why the people of Michigan don’t trust the government. The lady said, yeah, it’s the principle. No, I said, it’s the 9 dollars! Nobody expects the government to know anything about principles.

Total scam!

During Covid, NC was issuing both ... regular was even online :(.

I asked 'em how they did an "eye test" ...

"If they can see the screen..."

I nokeed :(.

Do you suppose they'll make "Real" fake ID's for the college kids?

GH85Carrera 05-04-2025 05:29 AM

Both.

My wife and I both got our DL renewed and Real Id. Total cost ZERO. Over 65 in Oklahoma and DL is free and good for 8 years.

I dont understand why anyone wouldnt get a Real ID. I like to have options to travel, even if I dont ever use it. And it should reduce the use of fake IDs.

NM was its usual unreasonably difficult self. Replacing my non-starred DL for a RealID was no different/easier than applying for a new one. I thought it would be trivial to roll up with my old ID and my passport.

No.

Birth cert was the first demand, though they did take my passport. TWO documents proving residency, or at least some official-ish looking things with my name and address. They also wanted something like a W-2 with my name on it. A 1099 wasn't sufficient, nor would have been my household's 2023 tax return.

It took me three visits to get the stinking thing...

I don't travel without my passport anyway, so I wonder why I was even bothering.

KFC911 05-04-2025 12:19 PM

Similar hoops here... Passport had expired & I had none of what they required ... nada. I'm good ....

Taylor's got a jet :D

stevej37 05-04-2025 12:26 PM

She also got a bodyguard....:D

It's easier to get RealID now than when you need it. I got it (needed it for my old age pension LOL) a while ago and it was lots of ferkin about so I started early.

They have real ID outside of the US?

rwest 05-04-2025 02:13 PM

I went with the enhanced license here in MN as it works as real ID as well as for non air travel passport use.

I think because it has limited passport functionality that it did require me to bring a bunch of different id proofs along when applying.

Ha, my mistake. Ours is much the same as yours but is called RealMe. Shows what I know, I thought ours was called RealID.

These days we need it for opening bank accounts and identifying yourself to government departments.

Brian 162 05-04-2025 05:31 PM

We don’t have enhanced drivers licences in Ontario anymore. Passport only, which I have. I needed it when I was in Florida for the month of April. I’m also heading to Europe this fall as well.

fastfredracing 05-05-2025 05:34 AM

Zero plans to get one .

Chocaholic 05-05-2025 05:40 AM

This wasn't a surprise. It's been the plan for at least 2 years. Got mine long ago. Can't imaging why anyone would have a problem with it.

I agree. For us, it is just a driver's license, with added security to be 100% sure it is really me, and not some fraudster. The license has neat security items that glow when a black light (UV) is shined on it. It will be a real challenge for the bad guys to make a fake version. So identity theft would be harder for the crooks.

Skytrooper 05-05-2025 06:22 AM

The RealID law was enacted in 2005. So, this should not be a surprise to anyone.

I feel they same way: I am now a South Carolina resident and have a SC Real ID DL.

They didn't ask for my opinion:cool:

The young lady at the DMV showed me black light stuff. Works for me.

For no reason at all:

KFC911 05-05-2025 08:25 AM

NC has about a dozen DL photos of me over the years. They know me ... you'd think???

Tidybuoy 05-05-2025 10:03 AM

I got my real ID about 3-4 years ago.

The only issue I had was that when I applied on-line, the system said my passport and Driver's license did not match - one had last name first, and the other was the opposite. As a result, I had to go to the DMV and do this in person.

herr_oberst 05-05-2025 11:44 AM

They already know where you live.
