How many of you have gotten your Driver's License upgraded to the Real ID ? | ||

Did that back in early 2010 in South Dakota. Mandatory here at the DMV. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Nope...got a passport, don’t need it. Prefer driving to flying. TSA can grope someone else. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Got one in NC in 2017 when mile was due for renewal. Then I got my TX DL when I moved to TX last year...still had to provide proper documentation even though I had a NC Real ID.

$25 in South Carolina. Passport, SC drivers license, CWP permit and Social Security card were the documents I submitted. After submitting the documents and having a new picture taken for the drivers license, I walked out of the DMV with the Real ID drivers license. Took about 45 minutes. “There is love in me the likes of which you’ve never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape." —Mary Shelley, Frankenstein | |||

I use my Global Entry card when I fly. I suppose I'll get a Real ID Montana DL when it expires in 5 more years. | |||

| Just for the hell of it  |
I have to renew my license next year and will get it then. Last time I flew the TSA agent that checks ID at security reminded me I needed to get before the date. I have a passport and Glodan Entry so not to worried. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Check before going to the soulless hell of your local DMV. In MS they've met the underlying requirements for some time but just hadn't changed the format of the license to include the magical star. However instead of having to go back to that Dilbert-esque event a second time in 2 years I was able to just get a replacement license online. Same cost plus a couple bucks shipping, had a starred license in my hands in 3 days. BTW - realize a passport works as an alternative as some of you mentioned. Are you sure you can fly around domestically with just Global Entry? You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Not really from Vienna |
In my experience, yes. | |||

I'll get around to switching to a real ID drivers license eventually but I'm in no rush. A passport, a passport card or your global entry card will all work for TSA check points for domestic travel. I always use my passport card as I keep it in a much more accessible part of my wallet than my DL. It's just easier to get at when I'm shuffling through the line. --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

I just renewed when I moved. I fly a lot so makes sense. Pretty easy process. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

Mine was due for renewal shortly so I just went online for five minutes and two weeks later the postman dropped it in the box. No lines and no hassle. "Cedat Fortuna Peritis" | |||

MA turned me down because my SS card was laminated. Even though they had the number in the system for 40 plus years. I have a passport so maybe when I go to renew I will get someone smarter. | |||

I just renewed my license and I skipped getting the real ID. I have my passport and I need to get my Military ID renewed so I have those. I think it is a waste of time and money. Only the honest people get the real ID anyways. Sig2392: My SS card is laminated and on rare occasions it has caused me problems. Usually it is due to one a person during the exchangeThis message has been edited. Last edited by: mrapteam666, | |||
