It's a scam !
I ended up getting one because I needed a new ID anyways, but you don't need it if you have a passport.
Passport
Typical government scam
That's kind of what it felt like. They just made me bring extra documents to the DMV. And pay more money.
Can you elaborate?
No reason for it, doesn’t actually change anything, forces people to buy a new ID despite having one, especially for domestic it’s particularly meaningless, can’t be used for international so why again?, and then I suspect the chip in it is used to track location wirelessly in airports, gov buildings, and other areas where they have aggressive security, etc - that they probably intend to expand.
I think it’s main purpose is most likely two fold:
Make some money forcing people to buy new IDs, track people’s location better.

The latter is solved with RFID blocking wallet. Time to get the wife one.
I was just thinking it's probably time to upgrade to an RFID blocking wallet.
FL has had it for a few years now.
That being said, the requirement for it has been pushed multiple times, for multiple years. Good chance it gets pushed again, especially with recent rumbo of eliminating tsa.
Passport trumps RealID.
Not necessary if one has a passport.
use passport
Hi average_gary 🤟😉🏴☠️ Another step toward a surveillance state disguised as ‘security.’ More tracking, more databases, less privacy. The real question: where does it stop?
