If the passport counts as a real ID, why do I need all the documents required by the DMV to get a real id? Why wouldn’t a passport be sufficient?

You keep asking questions like that and you'll get dissappeared.

LINK


This is a link to LOUIE, the official Louisiana checklist program from the DMV. It lets you choose from a list and then save or print it. I took my printout with what I wanted to use and worked at the Non-DMV license location as well. Very handy.

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

I moved to Texas from Louisiana in 2012, and I’m pretty sure when I got my new drivers license. It had the gold star in the upper corner.

I have a passport, tsa pre check, and a global entry card but I had to go down to the dmv to show Mrs Johnson my gas bill to get a star on my id.

As of my last renewal the drivers license was standard, not Real ID version. This was about two years ago. Apparently you have to bring alot of additional paperwork for the Real ID version.



That's about the same time frame as mine. They mentioned the real ID and the additional documents needed. I didn't have it all with me, so I ended up with a regular license again. Next time I need to change it, I will look up the stuff needed and bring it.

I’ve had it for about a decade now. How does anyone not have one?


Agreed…Mississippi has been requiring these documents for 20 years, now. If I remember right, they didn’t require much of anything that any us citizen shouldn’t have access to anyway.

They wouldn't accept my passport in Gonzales dmv. Luckily I brought 2 bills with address just in case.
