You have to love how "the system" works.
They make you jump thru hoops to obtain more information than ANYONE would need, they can't muster enough common sense to be able to PRINT THE LICENSES THERE, and rely on snail mail to deliver it to you!
Then to top it all off, the only real need for this POS identification is to fly. If I was going to go somewhere by plane, I probably would have left long before these a-holes started this "drive for self importance" and gone someplace where bureaucracy wasn't run by morons and idiots!!!
What sucks is that my license will expire in 2 years, so if I want to fly DOMESTICALLY, do I need to renew the license early?
If so, will they reimburse me a pro-rated amount of what I paid when I renewed the original license, or will they just screw me again and make me pay for the new one?
How exactly will having everyone have a new license protect us from evil? Is there some "secret police" force that will operate out of every airport to protect us, or have they just blown smoke up our asses and soaked us for another fee?
Inquiring minds want to know, particularly us older ones that are seeing this crap and these a-holes take over our lives...

REAL ID is a Federal Security Standard for IDs that was created in 2005 as a result of increased federal security measures after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
So you have to prove who you've been on the ID you already had  |

it took them a week to mail my new license...
I've lived in the same state for 65 years now, less than 30 miles from where I was born... I had/have a current CDL license and motorcycle endorsement...it just shows how crappy their record keeping is...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Since I just got my passport renewed and my standard drivers license is doesn't expire until 2023, I'm not bothering with that BS until I need to. My flight to FL in March is ok with a standard license and after that if I need to I will bring my passport, so the state can wait to collect my fee and frustration.

That is what we are doing; passport for travel until my license expires in 2022. |

Just keep your passport current and you don't have to jump thru any hoops.
