Sadly, it’s necessary because certain states have been giving out driver’s licenses like candy to those with phony identification — I’ll let you guess who those people are...
I think it’s odd, we were told how important it is to upgrade standards for ID, and it took 20 years to implement this.
How important is this subject, if it was allowed to be delayed for 20 years?
New York State being at the forefront of this. Great work, Demoncrats!
If you have a passport, you’re good. We got the “passport cards” when we renewed because NY required paperwork for my Wife which we couldn’t get our hands on.

It was delayed because certain states did not want to have to refuse drivers license to illegal aliens who could not prove their citizen ship.

Here in GA they updated our drivers license to include real ID a few years ago.
I can already see the chaos when folks are denied access past the TSA security check. Won’t be pretty.
That’s racist. Minorities are incapable of voter ID. No way they can get this done. It will be extended.
What would they do without their lib overlords
“Air travelers at domestic airports will be required to present a REAL ID in order to fly.”
ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
Read the DHS website. Other friends of ID are acceptable.
Just go through th “Maryland Man” line.
This isn't about security, it's about control and tracking of U.S. citizens.
I haven’t flown in over 10 years. I don’t expect to be flying anytime soon, so, I am not worried about getting this Real ID. I have no big objection to getting one, it’s just a minor hassle I need not worry about for now.
All I had to do to get one was check a box that “affirms” I am a US citizen. No paperwork required. And after you check the box the screen pops up asking if you want to register to vote. Again, no documentation required since NO ONe would dare check the “affirms” box.
“This isn’t about security, it’s about control and tracking of U.S. citizens.”
Definitely. And Fox is furthering the misinformation.
“”””How important is this subject, if it was allowed to be delayed for 20 years?””””
So true, and we see that logic flaw a lot.
What about a concealed carry permit or drivers license with picture?
Apparently. We got the upgrade a while back when renewing our DLs. In fact we found out we didn’t actually have a copy of our marriage license. Now we do. 😳😂👍
Yes I dragged my feet, but I’m going to be in the middle of a trip to the other side of the country when the deadline kicks in. So I got to work in January on getting my certified birth certificate so I could get my real id. Unfortunately millions of our fellow citizens are idiots, so I foresee problems on 5/7
