SpeedNoodles 4,537 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I tried getting a Real ID the last time I renewed, but the staff at the DMV were clueless dicks, so I'm just going to use my passport, lol.

Chadster 909 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 My ID doesn't expire until exactly a year later, so they won't renew mine. But they will send me an exact duplicate which is RealID compliant -- but still expires in 2021. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWDW1204 498 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Driver’s licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles that are REAL ID compliant* *REAL ID compliant cards are marked with a star at the top of the card. If you’re not sure, contact your state driver’s license agency on how to obtain a REAL ID compliant card. Based on this map, most all states DMV's should already be issuing compliant driver's licenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StayFrosty 236 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Be careful, not all states issue them by default. Pennsylvania, for instance, has a separate process for the RealID card. You have to go out of your way to get it and only at certain locations. If you just renew, you only get the noncompliant card. (I am pretty sure in PA’s case it is an example of the state legislators saying “you can’t tell me what to do” to the federal government). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PRC 364 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 An "urgently needed" response to 9/11 Not passed till 2005 Not effective till 2008 Overhauled for lack of participation in 2014 October '20 is probably the 100th "deadline" 19 years in the making...doesn't sound very "urgently needed" to me... sk8erguy1978, teddy, eaglesfaninfl and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sk8erguy1978 1,066 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 NY didn't start issuing them as default untill recently (last October I think) Luckily mine is up for renewal in March, so needed to renew anyway. Wife isn't but she's going to just request an Enhanced license when I do. We will both still cruise and travel internationally with passports, but for $30 more, might as well.

KathyC 997 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 NJ just started in the last few months, and it's just about reached all our DMV offices by now. I rarely fly domestic that doesn't involve a cruise, so my passport is always with me anyways. As each one of our driver licenses expire, we'll make the change.

twangster 25,717 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Real ID should be renamed Really Small Font ID. Rented a car in another country and poor rental company couldn't read the thing. They took one look and said "Jesus!"

JimnKathy 202 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 While the missus and me will just use our passports to board plane flights for our cruise in the fall, I've been mystified by all the hype around the Real ID. Even if it's imbedded with some sort of fancy-smancy, secret spy technology, it seems to me that good fakes can be had by criminal masterminds no matter how cool they are. It's all more TSA re-arranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic if you ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ugh, yeah I did the check list, utility bills, passport, social security card... Mine is up next month, wife and I will go together, get the enhanced and be done with it :).

Ditchdoc 223 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Got one NC. Was not that hard. A passport with two pieces of paperwork showing current address. Done. Drivers License now has a pretty yellow star in corner. Otherwise, it is pretty much the same as it has always been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, we had this same issue when trying to get my son's license. They didn't understand their own rules and wouldn't give him one.

Chadster 909 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just a heads up that the Department of Homeland Security is extending the deadline for REAL ID by one year (October 1, 2021). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So does that bring it to 20 years to implement this supposedly vital piece of national security legislation? I think this law was cursed!

Matt31 35 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 They should still enforce the original date of this October, they have given everyone plenty of time to comply. Pushing it back yet again haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My husband got a real ID and his DL all in one because his DL was expiring, they even punched void on his old DL. Didn’t do that for me, I guess we will see what happens come next May when my DL expires! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with this. I don't see a point in doing away with it. It's just a simple increase in sophistication in our government ID's its not hurting anybody and it's not a big deal because they already know the information we are supplying anyway, more or less they are just verifying it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
