DMV staff are awful.
This is actually a compliment to them because we don’t have a word in English for “abysmally awful”.

I don’t care as long as the non RealID people go to the back of the line where they belong

From tsa website

All travelers, including TSA PreCheck® enrollees, must have a REAL ID or other acceptable form of identification (e.g., passport) in order to fly once TSA is enforcing the REAL ID requirement at airports.

Whoops.

The wife (no pics) and I went and got ours yesterday at the DMV in Columbia. 30minutes, employees were beyond nice. Maybe we just have an exceptional DMV?

Some places do.

Never tell anyone of these places.

Great excuse to infringe rights I guess


Which rights are being infringed?

Your right to fly?
Your right to travel in the fastest way possible without any inconvenience?
Your right to board a dangerous aircraft with minimal safety checks in place?

Enlighten me.

Real ID has nothing to do with TSA Precheck. You'll still need a Real ID license or passport. I think they also accept TWIC now.

Who the hell walks around with their birth certificate?

People who read the requirements for renewal. I read them. Took one additional document. Listened to people in front of me say 'how was I supposed to know." Then was given a real ID while renewing.

It is amazing how many people will look up everything else on their phone, but can't figure out how to get an ID.

No kidding. We've had 20 years to get one of the things.

I don't have one so it means I'll have to go deal with a Louisiana DMV soon which sucks arse


I did it and it wasn't that bad. Pick a mid-month, mid-week day and check online for what you need (it ain't that much) and get it done once then go back to renewing online

Because Real ID is obviously the Mark of the Beast foretold in the book of Revelations...

Why do I need to jump through extra hoops for security theater


I just had to get my license renewed. I did it all on-line, including scanning an eye test and sending it in. When they sent me the new license, it had the star on it. Pretty easy. No hoops were jumped.

It’s not like you have to give blood and first born to get RealID. Just birth certificate proof of address
On two documents

A lot of folks in this thread do not understand what the Real ID Act did.

You do realize that the US has stated real ID since 2005 and you've had plenty of time to obtain it?
