Who in here has their Real ID drivers license?

Law requires you to have it by October 1, 2020 to board a plane or enter a Federal Building.

Got it last July. It’s just a money maker because all you need is the same

Information you had to give them when you got your first drivers license. They’re just banking on people to have lost their birth certificate and/or ss cards and have to spend $20 to get those. It’s a useless hassle.

Actually it's because they are scanning and keeping it now

When I got my license in 1984 I am not sure they knew what a scanner was.

Got mine online. DMV put me and Mrs. TH76 through the ringer when we moved back to SC, so they already had the info they needed.

My whole family has had ours for about 6 months. There was no hassle at all getting it. Just have all the information they need when you go to the DMV. They will have you out in about 30 minutes.

Got mine the end of last year. Just used it to enter a national lab in Golden, CO. The guard made a comment that it made it easier for them to clear me onto the property...

Found me. Ouch. Wife has hers, but did it online. For me, I have to go to the DMV. I no longer have to wear eye wear, so I have to re-take the eye test. Two weeks after retirement, my eyesight suddenly became almost 20/20, having worn glasses/contacts for 46 years. Weird huh? I need to go soon though. My license says I must have glasses, so I don't want the hassle that I might get if I'm ever stopped.

Got mine last year in Vermont were I live. We are not far from Montreal and I figured if I let the passport lapse I would have the drivers license. Short story --while waiting in line someone commented that they really like my hat ( orange with paw )-"I would get my picture take with that". MY response was "well thank you--I don't think they will let me" --"do you know about it" ? His response," No ,but it is a great looking dog paw." I corrected him of course..but leads me to the point..wish someone would design a hat with a paw and Clemson U in an arc above it..in a more vintage style. Hope everyone has a good day.

My passport card works just fine and dandy with the TSA. I'm holding out on getting a new SC driver's license since the DMV isn't prorating the cost based on the actual expiration date.

My DL expired last year anyway, so I went ahead & got mine. Your best bet is to get there by 9 am (but double check- some branches open later one day a week). The ladies at the front of the Greenville DMV will check all your documents before you go to the waiting area, so you've only lost about 10 minutes if you don't have every shred of ID you need. Note to married women, you will need your marriage license if your name on your birth certificate doesn't match your SS card. And they want your SS card in your married name, even though the instructions say "your original card."
One interesting note: I asked my eye doctor if I would have to wear my glasses, and learned that they waived the eye exam for the first two years of Real ID so as to make up some of the time spent reviewing all the additional documents. So if you can barely see to drive this is when you want to go (but warn the rest of us if this applies to you!)

I got mine a few months ago. No problem; just took everything to DMV and was done in a few minutes. My wife, on the other hand, had a nightmare. She dropped her first name on her drivers license and on her Social Security card when we married. BIG MISTAKE, but this same government that is requiring the TrueID allowed it back then! Anyway, the DMV told us we had to go to Social Security and have this “mistake” corrected. Probably took two months to get everything straight since it ripples through EVERYTHING: bank accounts, retirement accounts, insurance, etc. Her twin sister had same issue and chose to go through Passport route. Big mistake! Took even more work to get it done.

Yes, thought they did away with the eye exam in SC but were bringing it back and delayed it because of the rush to get the realID. No exam when I got mine last year but had to renew anyway on my b-day.
