If I am flying out of the country, do I need Real ID with the passport?
We just went through the passport process. The documents required are the same so if you don't mind flying with a passport domestically you do not need the star on your license.

you should be a fly on the wall and see the amount of people that can’t figure out how to do it now without real ID.

For those worried about getting the real id. There is a checklist on the dmv website for what you can choose to bring. Fill it out and bring the list with you. It’s an official list when done.

Mine expires in a few months, I guess I'll cave and do it then


My license expired last year and did just that.

Scheduled an appointment and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Even the DMV lady was a little cute. Passed up a bunch of people that didn’t have appointments.

This must be a difference by states thing. I did nothing extra and just renewed my license as normal.
I had to bring my original birth certificate, government docs mailed to my address, etc. It was a pita, but once I was there it was pretty simple.

Apparently you have to bring alot of additional paperwork for the Real ID version.

It’s not a lot of additional info but it’s more than a regular license.

Facts

Real ID here and TSA preCheck...... so doesnt effect me either way


Flew out of Orlando Intl last October... precheck line had 9 people in it... the regular queue was a 45min wait.... I timed it waiting in the terminal

Definitely worth it... let the plebs be plebs while I slam large marg and 3 tacos, while watching football

I renewed my Texas DL online in May of 2023. They issued me a new DL with the REAL ID star in the corner. I seem to recall simply including a SSN on the renewal app.

Same here, but it was way before 23. It sounds like it’s just a pita in La. for some reason.

Yeah it’s really not hard. You need a passport and your social security card or a local utility bill to do it usually.

I think people in Texas and Florida just forget how backasswards Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi governments are.

I had to show proof of residency to get my Real ID. That isn’t listed as a requirement in Texas.

But yes, it isn’t hard at all.

It is a total scam as I had a certified copy of Birth Certificate, and they would not except, needed original from Parish, cost $40. Now I have had a La. Lic. for 50 plus years with same # but that is not proof enough, typical Govt. BUll CRAP

I have a valid twic card. Does that do anything for me at the airport in terms of getting out of the regular tsa line?

We still have brake tags, tint laws, and toll-takers.

Obviously, we'd make this process as ridiculous as possible

Pretty sure you'll be flying the plane.

You'll start at $22 an hour, but OT is $33 an hour. In the money baby.
