Not all driver’s licenses are considered Real IDs. Those states that have motor voter laws, CA,IL, NY, and a host of others do not require a birth certificate as is required in NC, and MO. The DL must have a gold emblem somewhere on the ID. Passports require a birth certificate.

True, in NY you need birth certificate and proof of residency to get real id or for more money the enhanced ID.
