Beginning May 7, 2025 every state and territory resident will need to present a REAL ID compliant license/ID, or another acceptable form of identification, for accessing federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and boarding commercial aircraft.


This is going to be a shite show tomorrow.

I saw a line at the Veterans OMV on Saturday morning that almost made it to Veterans.

Luckily, most in the OT have passports.

This is more of the republicans plan to disenfranchise voters


Underprivileged people just now figured out how to get ids and the republicans are saying that’s not a “real” id

It’s funny how black people can easily apply for a passport to cruise Carnival, but ID to vote is racist.

I didn't get one. I have a passport and a TWIC card. If that isn't enough to get me in anywhere then oh well

I’m not sure how this will be enforced in federal buildings that house many government agencies, bankruptcy courts, criminal courts, HUD, etc….

People on this site bitch about illegals and voter fraud. The Real ID is something that would combat that but there are people on the site that don't want to get one. Hilarious.

Voting is done on the state level.

I hope some form of photo ID is required, whether it’s Real ID or not.

And each vote should be tied to the ID and the entry in the voter rolls.

Checked mine a couple of weeks ago as I have no idea what the difference is between an ID or RealID. Looks like I have a RealID by default. Not sure what the problem is.

It's a federal crime if you use a fake ID to vote, so I definitely recommend using your real ID.

Why is it you people always try to say people of minority groups are stupid and can’t figure out how to get an ID or use a computer?

Don’t you know when you say this your belief in your racial superiority is showing. It’s just another example of how the democrats have never stopped being the party of racism and oppression.

Real IDs have a star on them. You would’ve provided a lot more documentation to the DMV when you got it.

I’m shocked by the level of ignorance around Real IDs since we’ve been pushed to get them for years now.

The Federal Election Commission would disagree.

Real ID has been out a number of years. Anyone standing in that line who isn’t getting a first time license, it’s on them.

Why, are most not capable to get an real ID? This has been warned for years now. If one can't fly or vote that's on them
