So I still have to pay extra to get a new driver’s license or passport. Mexican BBCs? Fine. Canadian provincial licenses? US Driver’s license? You’re grounded. F*ck Noem. I’m f*cking sick of illegals having more rights than American citizens.
Texas requires “Evidence of Lawful Presence” documents (”TPS”, VISA, Green Card, etc.) not necessarily citizenship for their Real ID DL or ID card:

Drivers license years ago…passport 40 years ago.
Same with Covid ID.
I dont really get it... I’ve always had to show ID to fly...
(I think some FReepers think “Real ID” = a citizen)(It should not be used for voting ID) The recently House passed “SAVE Act” lays out acceptable voter ID requirements...only some Real ID’s are compliant.

They give us the choice in MO and I chose non-Real ID because I can’t afford to fly or do anything else granted by it.
“REAL ID” was passed by Congress in 2005 and states were given three years to comply. For one reason or another many states received one extension after another. IMHO, States that are not requiring REAL ID for flying are doing so for nefarious reasons.
Only five states currently offer an enhanced driver's license.
I got it... butI never intend to fly again... screw that!!!
Nope, won’t need one. The last time I flew was in 2007 with the passport I had at that time. Won’t be flying ever again, nor will I need an ID because I won’t be entering any Federal Buildings either.
I won’t be.
I think them trying to tag this to “getting rid of illegals” is complete bs. It never was a selling point and I doubt they will use real id to get rid of illegals. I think its just to fake a reason to get conservatives to changs their mind about govt demanding papers and getting used to showing them.
The honesty is appreciated and all too often rare.
People flipping on their principles based on who is president is bizarre to me.
This May 2025 timeline has been in works for several years now. But its good that Noem is aware that its coming up next month.
Oddly,Indiana doesn’t accept a TWIC as a valid document to get the Teal ID driver license !?
Oh well, no one asked and I'm not that much in need of anything 'Real'. My VA ID supposedly is approved as 'Real' should such a need arise. What you said is the most likely reason I'm not starred. I did surrender my Montana DL at the time. I think they punched a hole in it and handed it back to me. I don't recall it being 'Real'. I guess if it was then AL would have rubber stamped me with a star.
They’ve been warning about this for years. The original deadline before it was extended again and again, was right around Covid time.
You don’t have a drivers license?
I might begin to warm up to the idea if they said it’s required TO VOTE.
I don’t have the type of driver’s license that will be needed in a few months to get through airports—if that is your question.
Meanwhile the J6 families are demanding justice.
They have earned it.
