How?
In Alabama, REAL ID is called a STAR ID.

In order to be issued a STAR ID, applicants must verify their identity and date of birth by providing one of the following documents*:
Valid, unexpired United States Passport
Certified Birth Certificate
Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240, DS-1350, or FS-545
Valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) issued by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
Unexpired employment authorization document (EAD) issued by DHS (Form I-766 or Form I-688B)
Unexpired Foreign Passport with a valid, unexpired U.S. Visa affixed, accompanied by the approved I-94 form documenting the applicant’s most recent admittance into the United States.
Certificate of Naturalization issued by DHS (Form N-550 or N-570)
Certificate of Citizenship issued by DHS (Form N-560 or N-561)
A REAL-ID compliant Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card

How can one be an illegal and meet this requirement?

You must also have SSN verified by:
Social Security card
United States Military Form DD 214
Medicare/Medicaid Identification Card (if Social Security Number is followed by the letter A)
W-2 Tax Form

I know there are states that issue drivers licenses to illegals but I doubt those licenses are REAL ID.

Illinois is also in the process of upgrading their license for the same reason. When your license expires you go into DMV, no more renewal on-line.

Your old license is punched and you are given a temporary renewal to keep with the old license to use until your new license arrives.

I've heard all sorts of rumors about what the new license contains-gps chips mainly, but they look pretty routine to me. They're a different color now and I guess that they've put a bunch of anti counterfeiting stuff in them-holograms and such but nothing that you'd look at and say "what in the he11..?"

What did surprise me was that they made a mistake on some of the personal info and they actually took the time to correct their records rather than just trashing the whole thing and starting over.

Maybe they do want me to have that particular license.

Real ID - just the thing to keep control of...things, eh?

I guess it wouldn't matter, except for the cost of all those leather coats...

'YOUR PAPERS, CITIZEN...NOW!'

what could go wrong?

In California and I’ll be other states too, the ID you get as an illegal immigrant is exactly same thing as a driver’s license, except it isn’t a driver’s license, can’t be used for that. It can be used as an ID.

You mention a consular card, but what did they have to provide as an illegal to get that? Illegals don’t come here with papers. LOL

There’s a disconnect on this. These IDs are intended to get us in line, not the illegals.

These IDs help them sign up for insurance and other things that require an ID, and this ID is in the proper format to be accepted by the federal government.

Almost exactly the same except for the Star in the upper left hand corner. I have one.

As the story said without the REAL ID you cannot do many things including boarding an aircraft.

The Consular card is issued to US citizens who were born abroad. It functions as a birth certificate. My step son has one since he was born at Ramstein AFB in Germany.

It amazes me that conservatives are so demanding that illegals and non-citizens are not treated like citizens but then are so demanding that they, citizens, do not have to prove they are citizens. You can have it one way or the other. Not both.

I am right.  In California the Driver's licence and Identity Card look identical except one is designated as not being a driver's license.

Almost exactly the same except for the Star in the upper left hand corner. I have one.

California has not instituted the start in the upper left hand corner, unless they did it and haven't updated everyone's licenses yet.  I have one I received in May and there is no star.

California was not in compliance with the 2005 Identity act by the deadline 12/31/2015.  It received an extension.  For now it's citizens can fly with the identity cards and licenses.

(that may have changed, but I found no evidence of it).


As the story said without the REAL ID you cannot do many things including boarding an aircraft.

Unless you live in a "special place" like California.

The Consular card is issued to US citizens who were born abroad. It functions as a birth certificate. My step son has one since he was born at Ramstein AFB in Germany.

All well and good.  I have no problem with people who abide by rules and have one of these.  The matricular counselor cards issued by the Mexican embassies were not abiding by the rules.  They were gifting illegal immigrants with no identification, legal counselor indentification cards.  They didn't like their fellow citizens being looked down on, or not be able to conduct business inside a nation where they didn't belong.  This was their remedy.  The U. S. allowed it, and now those I. D.s that represent nothing in the way of legitimate identification, stand.

That is not what your family engaged in.

Yes, isn't it strange that citizens get angry when illegal immigrants get away with coming here, breaking our laws, fineggling government handouts, inhabit our schools, dominate our heathcare facilities?

Sure we want them identified and kicked out.

What we do not want is for us to be singled out, demanded to have a government ID that will sooner than later be used to do all sorts of things against us.

I submit that these government IDs will be used to deny us services a lot sooner than you might think.

If Hillary Clinton were to become president, it would not be out of the question for her to deny certain groups rights, and use those very IDs to help eliminate their rights.

Look at her comments about Catholics and Trump supporters.

It appears that your complaint is that California hasn’t yet implemented REAL ID. An identity card cannot be mistaken for a REAL ID. They are not identical.

“All well and good. I have no problem with people who abide by rules and have one of these. The matricular counselor cards issued by the Mexican embassies were not abiding by the rules.”

Those ‘matricular counselor cards’ are not the cards referred to previously and are not considered to be proof of US citizenship.

“Sure we want them identified and kicked out. What we do not want is for us to be singled out, demanded to have a government ID that will sooner than later be used to do all sorts of things against us.”

You’re going to have to make up your mind. If citizens don’t have to prove their citizenship, then how are you going to prove someone isn’t a citizen? If you can say that you’re a citizen and don’t have to prove it, then any illegal can do the same. Now, what do you want?

You’re comprehension skills aren’t such that wasting more time on you will do any good.

You don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground on these matters.

Do you know the difference between “REAL ID” and “real I.D.”?

In order to get a “REAL ID” you’ll have to take three or four pieces of paper to the DMV the next time you renew. I promise you, it’s not difficult. Once REAL ID is implemented, it will be very easy to determine who is and who isn’t a citizen. Now, whether the politicians will do anything about that is another issue.

I do know the difference between REAL ID and other forms of identification. You might want to read up on the subject.

Evidently you don’t. You don’t demonstrate any comprehension skills.

You toss out information you think is pertinent, and when I tell you that the Mexican consulates hand out IDs based on a vapor-trail you do your best to twist it into an insult to me.

That’s just ignorant.

Wiley Coyote commits a serious crime in Texas. He hops in his car and hightails it to California. In California he goes to the Mexican consulate and tells them he’s Jose Emanez.

The Mexican consulate issues him an ID based on his word, and suddenly Wiley Coyote no longer exists.

Then “Jose Emanez” submits his Mexican matriculatar consular card as his ID when he wants California ID. Then California issues him an ID card with “Jose Emanez” on it.

This sailed right over your head. At the same time you fire off another insulting post to me.

As I said, you’re challenged on this issue.

You’re the one who needs to read up. I’ve been reading up for 26 years on the subject. Talk to you in 2042.

You know....go jump to some other tune.

I can fake or get it faked... any I.D. that you can dig up.

AND SO CAN PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HARM YOU...OR STEAL FROM YOU...!!

And THAT is the point..........

I could give a flip about what you promise.

You want to be a FED lackey so be it..........

Really, you seem to be the one who doesn’t comprehend the difference between a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, a form used to prove citizenship for the children of citizens born abroad and the Mexican consulate cards which cannot be used to obtain a REAL ID.

I’m as upset as you are about the way politicians have corrupted the system to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens but that is a separate issue from REAL ID.

Will politicians ensure that illegals can get some form of ID including a drivers license? Of course they will. But whatever they do issue will not be REAL ID and it will not get them into the places (like a plane) that a REAL ID will.

If you have REAL ID, then you have proven your citizenship and your identity. If you want to get rid of the illegals, then you’ll have to do a couple of things. Elect Trump and implement some form of citizenship ID.

Would you care to explain how to identify those who are here legally and those who are here illegally without some form of Identification?

Consular card gets you a valid California I.D.

Who needs to use the Consular card after that?

Has your seven year old hijacked your computer?
