* Identity; (e.g. Unexpired U.S. passport or U.S. birth certificate)
* Legal Presence; (e.g. Unexpired U.S. passport or U.S. birth certificate)
* Social Security Number; and (e.g. Social Security card or payroll check stub)
* Residency (two proofs required). (e.g. utility bills or mortgage statements)
* Proof of any name changes (e.g. marriage certificates or divorce decrees)

Well the OP didn't seem sure so I felt like I would confirm it for him. What may seem obvious to people who travel by air a lot isn't always to those who don't.

Fair enough.

And to the OP in regards to this: "Although a REAL ID isn’t currently required for domestic airline flights, I’m wondering if it has any current benefits. E.g., less hassle with airport security?"

No. As Pale Horse said, it has absolutely no benefits as far as getting through security faster or with less hassle.

Not quite. Without one, you won't be getting through security.

Earlier in the year the airlines listed what can be accepted for ID. I had my DOD, so I used it at the first TSA checkpoint with no problems. Second point where they search you, they wanted more ID.

Which wasn't at all the gist of the question. In any case, a passport card or passport will get you through security just the same; a "REAL ID" isn't required to fly (domestically). But again, your form of ID has nothing to do with how expedited your process is through security. And that includes your military ID, unless you supply your DOD number previously so your boarding pass says TSA Pre-Check on it.

Get a Passport Card. It'll "solve" your REAL ID problem for domestic travel whether NJ gets its act together or not.

I have no idea what you mean by second TSA checkpoint. Even when I've been picked for secondary or extra screening, I've never been asked for my ID again.

When I checked in at Atlantic City airport, I first had to go through a TSA checkpoint that asked to see my ticket and ID. I was then funneled to where you take your shoes off and empty your pockets and go through the scanning machine. That was 2 TSA checkpoint.

That's odd. Like I said. I've never been ID'd at the "2nd TSA checkpoint." It's been over ten years though since I've flown out of Atlantic City.

Oklahoma has not complied (one of those states that passed a law that they would not comply, although they reversed it a year ago). The current exemption expires in October. If the state does not get another exemption things could go haywire quickly. A whole lot of people would get a suprise if they could not board a domestic flight.

I waited about 90 min in line to renew my license, they would not take my social security card as it was laminated, even though they have had my SS number for 48 years.

My license says not for federal ID, I have a passport and a Global Entry Card (GOES) card so for now I don't care.
