Here in NY, we 3 options for DLs, Standard, Enhanced, and RealID.

Standard - just lets you drive, beginning May 7, 2025, it will not accepted to board a domestic flight or to enter some federal buildings. Has 'NOT FOR FEDERAL PURPOSES' on the front

Enhanced - can be used to board a domestic flight, can be used to enter U.S. at land crossings from Canada, Mexico and some Caribbean countries, has a U.S. flag on the front, costs an additional $30

RealID - can be used to board a domestic (within U.S.) flight, has a white star in a black circle on the front.

I work at a secure government facility and know that delivery drivers, vendors, etc. are not permitted access without certain credentials. It seems a whole lot easier to carry one thing instead of multiple items.

My passport is a RealID but I dont want to carry it with me just for that purpose.
