I will never fly again or leave this country, so I don’t need it.
This is basically about travel.
But I wonder if it is a subtle way to “remind” people that asking for ID at the time of voting is racist because black people can’t manage to spend the money or the time or the trouble to handle complicated paperwork in the modern age. So they get disenfranchised by racist Republicans.
The REAL ID Act was passed in 2005.
I’ve had mine for at least 9 years. I have little sympathy for complaints about standing in line. Oh, my state didn’t have it, you say? Guess what. It was the blue states that dragged their feet on REAL ID and voter ID. What does that tell you?
And if you’re worried about the government collecting your information….hint….they already have it. This is not some new fangled boogie man that the deep state dreamed up. It’s actually a cure for what ails us.
EC
Me too.
“I always use the passport.”
Yup. That’s what I do. ICE should hire more people to be census takers. No need for questions. Just show your passport of Real-ID card.
I made an appointment with my DMV, brought the docs I needed and was in and out in 20 minutes.
Yeah.
I really don’t want to go to SS office.
You don't need the SS card. A W2, 1099 or paystub with the your full SSN is acceptable..
Don't forget to give honorable mention to the 'go-alongs'.... They are part and parcel of the mess that we are in....
I got mine at the AAA ,took about 5 minutes
“The TSA turned out to be the camel’s nose.”
This is a global push.
Here in NC there are no appointments available. I have to renew my DL by going and standing in line as I renewed it online last time and you can only do that every other time.
I am scrambling to get docs together - if my passport has my married name on it, do I need my marriage license?
I’m not sure. I just brought my current license, ss card, a copy of my birth certificate and my energy bill. I went to the automated check in. Sat down. Waited for about 5 minutes and they called me up. I gave them my info and they put it into the system. Then I did the vision check and took the picture and that was it. I got it in the mail in about two weeks.
Checked into a blood clinic via the kiosk. Typed in some info and was told to throw my driver's license in the tray just so. Was told to flip it over just so. Mine even has a QR code on the back. All checked in. AND they sucked out a few files of my DNA. I'm doomed.
You can opt out of it and not be scanned.
I’ve heard passports can now be renewed via the state dept website.
Anyone know more details ?
Yet, they will have their Real IDs to fly.
They can and/or print out info and go to your local library. It’s fast and easy
Go online to SS. I got a SS card in the mail in 2 weeks.
Unless you want it expedited. I think that’s correct
