Changes to REAL ID rollout

[@lorderik237]

"Have you thought about getting your REAL ID?" "No. Happy with the passport." FYI, passports _are_ REAL ID compliant.

[@alexandraboswell2510]

I have had mine for over 4/5 yrs now.

[@SamSitar]

just renewed mine now.

[@tech-bore8839]

What they fail to mention is that the Real ID is also necessary for walking into federal facilities.

[@Kevindevin7]

Why is that noteworthy when they’re talking about an airport in TSA?

[@tech-bore8839]

@@Kevindevin7 Because they're complaining about the rollout, and using a terrible example of why people should obtain it (i.e. Flying). It gives viewers the impression that it's only important for travel, when in fact it goes beyond that.

[@viazel2796]

I went into a federal building and was never asked for my ID... NEVER!

[@killer2600]

This was such a need for the security of the country that it will take 20+ years to full enact/enforce.

[@rons2079]

How can anything be secure with countless people entering the US with open borders? Lack of enforcement and no harsh consequences for getting caught illegally entering the US. If sent back they just try again. People can work for cash, beg, be homeless, get fake credentials and voila!…….. living in US illegally and can even get a driver’s license and vote. Try doing that in another country and see how that works. They will deport you and blacklist you from entering country. We are a nation of immigrants…… Just fill out your papers and wait your damn turn! We are turning into the Soviet Union. Communism sucks and does not bring happiness.

Why do you need a real ID if you have a passport to me it's ridiculous and it's a waste of money and time

[@webs34]

I doubt you travel domestically (with no international travel beyond) with a passport and if you do thats stupid

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

I don’t have it. When my drivers license came up for renewal I could renew on line and have it mailed to the house. Or gather up a bunch of paperwork and drive down to the DMV and wait in line. So there you go.

[@Whoddathunk]

I just got a renewal $130. For real & reg license. Sounds like revenue generating scheme to me…

[@tonytony2546]

I paid nothing to get a real ID which is part of my drivers license in Virginia.

[@scubaspi]

​​@@tonytony2546In Virginia it is a one time $10 fee on top of the driver's license.

[@inspiredJourney8]

Forget the real ID. Use your passport.

[@karmakazi219]

If I can legally drive from coast to coast with my current ID, I think it's real. I just put a gold star sticker on it so I'm good to go.

[@AngelLopez-iv5jv]

If feels like a money grab when you already have a passport

[@CM8008s]

I’ve had a Real ID long enough that it had to be renewed after 5 years

[@Ouwesapromotv-mu5sh]

You pushed it back twice 2027? smh no come on

[@Snipedog1978]

I recently had a tsa agent refuse to accept my dod issued military id as valid accepted form

[@lifesabeach5405]

Call the manager

[@rholmst]

My wife and I both have passports, passport cards, AND Global Entry (and enhanced ID cards). On a recent flight, my wife used her Global Entry card at the TSA Precheck gate (TSA Precheck is included with Global Entry Entry) to confirm ID and the agent handed her a flyer to remind her to get a real ID. He didn’t deny her, but seemed to imply that she was going to need a ‘Real ID’ in the future. I seriously don’t know how we could possibly need any more “Real ID” than what we already have. FYI - Global Entry is sooo worth it. On our way back into the country, we went straight to the Global Entry kiosks (we only had carry on bags), it took our pictures, a green light flashed, and he headed straight out of the airport. No stopping for passport checks, no interview, no fingerprints, no bag check, no waiting in line! Nothing!

[@cdrone4066]

Florida has had them for years. PA has them what’s up.

[@dawfurby]

TSA and DMV need to just send everyone a new RESL ID card and stop wasting our time. You have all our information already, we don’t need to give it again. Just make us them and get it over with.

[@tonytony2546]

too many existing fake ID's out there, this would be pointless.

[@rbiscuit7458]

Interviewer: "Do you have a REAL id?" Lady: "I do not yet" 2 minutes later Same lady: "i think they should have figured this out a long time ago" so daft its unbelievable.

If you carry a passport or passport card, you don’t need to get one.

Don't need one if you don't fly by public carrier.

[@onewheel9961]

Still waiting to get mine. First one misdelivered , waiting 6 weeks so far for replacement. Ridiculous.

[@dianacano780]

the main goal is discriminatory, to be able to distinguish citizens from non-citizens, although it seems like a moot point, at least in IL, where non-citizens (even though they are lawful, permanent residents) already have a distinguishing restriction strip on their DL; it may make more sense for other states that don’t already have this type of segregation system in place; the “real ID” is useful for visiting military bases, certain federal buildings and certain job pre-screening requirements

[@MissLibertarian]

I'm hoping not having it will keep me out of federal prisons.

[@judyoger]

I traveled extensively when I was younger. I have no intension of getting "A REAL ID" I will renew my drivers license as edicted by the local government, I do not have a passport and as I have no intension of traveling abroad, I don't find spending money on an unnecessary item being a priority. If they choose to exclude me from buildings and other activities so be it, discrimination will never be truly gone. At least until we change the job description of elected officials.

[@calvinwalker4654]

A gold star is for Real ID…. They’re not even trying to be subtle anymore 🤦‍♂️

[@themt.mooncrew9800]

For God sakes I’ve done this four times in three different states. It’s not difficult if you haven’t been able to get your real ID at this point then that’s on you.

Well either way it’s pointless

[@PalmBeachDog]

I don’t see what the big deal is about getting a real ID. Just go get the ID and be done with it. Is that simple?

[@dabrams84]

I see no need for me to get one of these. We don't need the security theater of TSA. The very few times I've flown the TSA decided to give me the fast pass for free I think because they wanted to try to incentivize me flying more and skipping the lines. They didn't talk to me or anything. If that's possible to do, you can tell there's something silly afoot.

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

Can’t imagine any identification document to be More Real than a Passport. Although I live in Australia, I use My Irish Passport Card as My everyday Real identification document.

[@fccc3379]

Passport is still the highest form of ID, and can be used as an alternative to “real ID” for domestic flights.

[@SamSitar]
