What are the requirements to get one of the Real IDs?
“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 was in charge decided that her documentation was no longer valid, and it took a couple of years to find out why.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.
