7. I do not have a "real ID" yet
Wed May 8, 2019, 09:16 PM
May 2019

Like you I renewed my license last year and may just wait until I have to renew it again as I do have a passport.

What I find really odd about the whole scam is that it's easier to get a passport (more expensive, but it's good for 10 years) than the stupid license and the passport is just fine for flying. I guess if you're driving into Canada or Mexico you can just use the real ID so it might make sense if you live near one of the borders otherwise, I just don't understand the point.
