My memory is that Oklahoma has declined primarily because the RealID law requires linking all driver’s info on a database with all other states and the federal government (among other privacy data). Oklahoma now offers two forms of driver’s licenses - one without linkage, and one where the driver consents to linking. Also, I note that an address is required under the law. Addresses do not appear on my passport. So the obvious question becomes, why do they need my address to fly?
Looks like an interesting Fall for the do nothing Congress.

Address is just part of ID confirmation, there’s the John Smith over there and the John Smith over here.
They’ll just extend the deadline again. PA is too big to not be able to fly.
Yes and some states balked at the idea that everyone has to verify their physical address, not just verify who they are. I have to wonder why we have to give up that freedom? Not everyone wants their physical address public, for many reasons.
I have no real reason, but I do recognize that it is one less freedom. I have heard some veterans have had issues with the VA if they cannot prove their physical address. I am old enough to remember when the government didn’t really care where you lived.
