Government bureaucracy is mind numbing in in the ability to slow things down. The State of Oklahoma did not want to go to the "Real ID" because the feds insisted. Of course after delaying, now the legislature does a forehead slap and says OK, we will comply. The state hires an out of state company to set up the real ID. The system has been a total fuster cluck, and people are having to wait in long lines and many hours to try to get a new driver's license. I am very lucky, mine does not expire until 2022, so I can wait for it to clear up. The governor signed some executive orders to get things going faster.
The stupid thing is if one goes in there with an up to date passport, that is only one form of ID, and one still needs a original social security card, and a utility bill addressed to the same address. My passport is a real ID, but not good enough to grant me a new real ID driver's license. Only an idiot bureaucrat could say it is not enough. The gold standard of ID is the US passport.
Look at every single post office in the country. Go into the lobby anytime from opening to closing and citizens are standing in line. Often for 15 minutes or more just to get mail service on a package or buy postage.
