(CNN) — If you've been sweating out that latest deadline for REAL ID required for US air travel, you're getting another reprieve. The US federal government has yet again delayed nationwide security requirements for driver's licenses and other identification cards, giving states more time to issue REAL IDs to residents. The identification requirements were expected to kick in this coming spring. But they will be delayed another two years until May 7, 2025. That's another 883 days away.

Ditto 100% what you said.

I've been real ID qualified 3 times, 3 different states. It helps LOTs in terms of convenience to have a US passport. One of the states, Colorado in the late 1990s, was even before the real ID law existed IIRC

In GA in the early 2000s, I had to get a GA drivers license. No problem for me, I had all the state documentation covered. Still took a 5 hour wait at the DMV. Jerks. When my number was close to being called, I moved to the front row of crappy plastic chairs. A DL applicant at the counter 10 ft in front of me went up with “minder” with him”. The DMV agent would ask a question or request a document and the minder would answer. Problem was the applicant had zero English, obviously illegal and the minder would start talking. The second time this happened, the DMV agent told the minder to shut up and if not she would call over the policeman to arrest her.

IMHO, the exact reason why some states dragged and still are dragging on implementing real ID is voting. Nothing else makes sense to me. It's not a big deal to me to prove your identity and citizenship. I'm proud of it.

How can you tell if your driver’s license is real?

Thanks for the dose of reality. It seems you can be a non taxpaying drain on society for a long time. It just doesn’t pay to be an honest hard worker.

Real ID’s must be legislated as a requirement for voting in the elections of all federal offices.

Unequal inferiorists who have no Real ID, forfeit their right to vote

“What are the requirements to get one of the Real IDs?”

It seemed like they were continuing to move the goalposts.

Even before, the B$ was creeping in. My wife and I were married in a church and the minister filled out the data and sent it to the state we were married in (1961). That worked for over 4 decades, and then B$ appeared until we stopped flying. Her current Cali driver’s licensed and her Cali ID are valid for everything except flying 2 years from now.

Then, about 2 decades ago, my wife was getting all types of static even with passports to fly anywhere. There was no problem with cruises to Mexico and Canada.

Since, my name didn’t change when we got married. I never got hassled like she did. Ironically, being married to her never impacted any flights with or without her.

Turned out that, who/DHS? was in charge decided that her documentation was no longer valid, and it took a couple of years to find out why. We had to contact the state where she was born and where we got married to basically re start the whole process. Apparently, her driver’s licenses and passport for several decades had no impact on their stupidity.

The irony was the documentation, which they didn’t accept for her to fly, was valid enough for me to get a top secret/crypto clearance in the Navy from 1962 to when I was honorably discharged.

When we did fly, I got zero hassles with a standard Ca. Driver’s license. She got B$ from the check in and often the boarding process.

So, we just pulled the plug on flying.
