The Real ID Deadline Has Been Extended Again—by a Lot
MSN Afar ^ | 27 Apr 2021 | Michelle Baran

Posted on 04/27/2021 8:30:32 PM PDT by blueplum

The Department of Homeland Security has pushed back the Real ID deadline until 2023.

Originally, air travelers were going to need to have a Real ID by October 1, 2020, in order to board a domestic flight. Last year, the Trump Administration bumped that deadline out a year to October 1, 2021. Now, it’s been bumped out all the way until May 3, 2023...

New goal. Get a stamp on my passport from all 50 states?

That’s discriminating against women though. Not many women go through life with the same name they had on their birth certificate!

It’s not stunning.

Illegals need more time to get enough fake ID to get the, snort, “real” one.

Right now illegals can fly without ANY ID.

Let a citizen try that trick.

I took my hubby name when I married years ago. When I went in person to renew license and get real id, I forgot to bring copy of marriage certif. Got the license but have to go back and pay more than I would have to get real id. Never went back. I am telling my daughter never change your name.

That’s great advice. The alternative is to keep near and dear in a secure place any evidence of name changes.

Otherwise life happens.

If you’re going for 50 states why not try and visit all 57?

I don’t know all the details but my perception is this:

1) My DL is good until 2025. Renewed online. Very convenient. I gotta go spend time in DMV again? Good thing they extended it because they have a 6 hour line even with appointment, and a 4 month backlog to get an appointment. (they are also 6 weeks behind on unemployment insurance for about 1 million Californians).
2) They already have my birth certificate on file as it was needed when I got my original DL at age 16.
3) I don’t have ready access to my BC at this point. I have a passport that expired, maybe I can mail that in for renewal but maybe too late. Gotta write a letter and a check to the county for a certified copy? I don’t know the details.
4) They want to link state databases with federal databases and it’s not just to prove citizenship. Soon you’re bar code ID will be scanned into phones somewhere and then state, feds and private enterprise databases will all be linked. Scanned at TSA. Scanned by airlines. Scanned by bartenders.
5) If I get a Real ID that proves my citizenship, but I can’t use it for international travel?
6) I was already a member of the Frequent Traveler Program when I traveled a lot for work. It also expired. But they already all have this stuff on me personally. I think it’s annoying. So all told if I want to travel “easily” I will need to contact 4 government agencies and cut 4 new checks for information they all already have. And to what end? When can a single ID suffice?

Cherry picking a few points... You lost your birth certificate? Also, you are talking about several different government agencies, some bound by law to now share data. Presuming you can find or get a replacement birth certificate, you are a real US citizen, correct? Then, it should be your patriotic duty, especially as and if you are a conservative, to go and validate that you are a real valid US citizen.

“I am telling my daughter never change your name.”

Smart. When did the thing start to take the husband’s name?

Not only am I divorced and remarried, I was also adopted, and the only “birth certificate” I have for my new name after my adoption is more of a hospital type certificate, and not acceptable to the state of Ohio. Now, that would be fine if the bureau of vital statistics could find the real one, but they seem to have lost it. I have been working on this issue for more than two years.
I’m nearly 76 years old, and my oldest daughter moved to Hawaii recently. I’m very much afraid I will never see her again.
There are no words to express how much I hate government bureaucracy.

It isn’t? Try being adopted 75 years ago in a state that can’t find the birth certificate issued after the adoption name change in addition to being divorced and remarried.

I am not sure I ever had my birth certificate. Maybe my mother has a copy somewhere. Yes I am born and raised in California. I needed it to get a passport, and my DL way back when. Both agencies have a copy, and presumably the DHS too. They got my fingerprints at the DMV, and the horse racing commission in several states, and the DHS and the passport office. Never been fingerprinted by the cops though.

Sure, I can probably get another copy of the birth certificate, just gotta write to the county (good luck after 14 months of shutdown) or hire Obama's photoshop editors to make me a new one. If the purpose is to share information then they should have plenty to share already. If the purpose is to just hassle me then they win.

So your parents took care of that when you were young? Maybe you are really not a US citizen afterall? Wouldn’t that be a kicker of a surprise. Are you too old to apply for DACA? :)

Bureaucracy sucks. Perhaps in a few months when some of this covid backlog clears you can go around the functionaries and find someone higher up who can help you make an exception. There’s gotta be a way.

LOL. I am fairly sure. My grandfather served a career in the air force, 3 wars. I have seen my BC. I had it with me to apply for DL. I am pretty sure we gave them a copy when I applied for university but not sure. I had to have it when I got my first passport but never needed it for any renewals but it is now expired for 2 years (was going to renew it, then Covid) I probably need to start over and apply for new one but I'll investigate. DHS cleared me for their Frequent Traveler program which got me to use the TSA fast lane at every airport.

I don't remember it personally but presumably I was born in a prominent hospital. (Funny story, maybe when I was 24 or so I went to see a doctor and the nurse recognized my name... said "I was the one who slapped you when you were born" Maybe she says that to all the guys).

The marriage certif Was in the safe deposit box. So who really thinks about that stuff after you are married 25 plus years an having used your married name all those years. It’s a money ploy. They should just covert the licenses to real id. They said they would charge me more so I never returned.

I was going to keep my name but my mother said if you are marrying him you should take his name. So I listened to my mom. I have a nice name. But I’m telling my daughter keep your name.
