Many states started issuing REAL ID compliant IDs way back in 2008 or 2010. I don't know state-by-state if maybe some states dragged their feet. Just look for the star on the upper-right.
According to https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs where I got my "facts"
Q: Are all states issuing REAL ID compliant cards?
A: Yes. All states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 territories are REAL ID compliant and issuing REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses and IDs.
on your page click "how do i get a real ID"
you have to go to an office and bring documents, but the problem is the office has no appointment time slots ...
last year i lost my license and had a new one made - it says "not for federal purposes" in the spot where the star should be.
the point of real ID is to prove who you are by bringing in additional documents to prove your identity.
you need to bring a LOT of documents. like an absurd amount. there are entire websites with interactive guides that help you decide if you have enough documents for real ID.
the alternative is to get a "passport card" which is based on your passport book but is the same size as a driver's license
that's what i will try to do
passport card works as real ID within US while you still need passport book to fly internationally
you can of course use your passport book within US as well, but with the card it fits in your wallet
passport is more money than real ID license though, which is probably why they didn't run out of appointments
real ID is very cheap so they have no incentive to offer enough time slots to meet the demand
even with the $10 cost of real ID ( versus hundreds for passport ) the idiot sheep are complaining about real ID costing money and it being a ripoff
oh you don't like paying to process documents ? well enjoy waiting a year for your time slot then.
dumbfucking commies.
honestly the average person is so dumb they should just be lined up against the wall and buried in a ditch.
