FYI if you have a global entry card that will work. I never travel with mine but it’s about to go into my wallet for future travel.

Passport
Passport Card
Military ID (active or retired)
Just about any federally issued ID will work.

You can still fly if you dont have it, you just get the treatment at TSA. Look in your bag, ask you a couple of questions.

Just bring a piece of paper that says you are an illegal.

a valid green card also is acceptable.

It's only been 20 years. Who could have seen this coming.

I mean, for chrissakes, what were your shithole states doing?

Is the renewal process for a RealID different than prior standard licenses?

I want to sit at MSY all day on Wednesday and see what pops off when people get turned away at TSA when they don't have a Real ID. lol.

Each workday, I drive by one of those places where you pay to get a license. For the past few weeks, I've noticed the line getting longer and longer (I drive by around 8:00 AM). Of course the line is huge today. I did notice a lot of people in that line that looked like they couldn't afford bus fare, much less an airplane ticket. I'm curious if the Real ID will be required for other things like food stamps.

Some slapdick kid wouldn't sell me a bottle of wine at Whole Foods many years ago because my driver's license had expired the day before, so after driving home to get it, I've carried it in my wallet ever since.

A year or so ago, I switched to exclusively using that at airports because I got tired of the TSA agents browbeating me about needing Real ID

Found your problem.
But those are the same tards that won't take a CCL, even though it's valid. I doubt they've ever seen a global entry card either.

Kid stared at the Global Entry card for a bit when I came back, but ultimately sold me my damned bottle of wine

Wonder if they will do a separate line for those who have the new ID

My admin went in this morning (moved from NY and had to change to a TN drivers license). It took her about 20 minutes. I'm amazed. If there had been a board on it, I would have picked 3 hours.
