Thanks for the reply. I’m guessing your passport was Real ID compliant having the ICAO symbol that makes it compliant with the international data base for security, and the picture on both documents will be the high resolution variety that will allow curb side recognition of you anywhere you choose to go by anyone with the appropriate devise to decode biometric data, and they won’t have to ask to see the document as it can be decoded while you are walking down the street. That is the desired result, however many states have yet to authorize the chip in the card that makes the instant scan possible.
I was struck by your comment that we need more of this.
We’re giving millions of illegals the vote and welfare because we don’t confirm identities. At this point I’d really rather have less of that.
Oh, and there was no qualification as to only some passports being good or recent enough for the qualification. And I was having a new DL photo taken at the time.
