Smooth sailing getting Real ID

[67tempest]

My wife went on Tuesday for hers and was in and out of the Illinois Secretary of State office in 15 minutes. Illinois government as a whole, stinks, but I haven't had any issues when I need to care of something at the Secretary of State.

Got mine last year, most troublesome part was getting all the freaking paperwork they wanted together.

Texas had a long list of similar requirements, birth certificate, recent utility bill(?), etc. I was prepared to go stand in a long line in the license bureau, but decided the heck with it, and renewed as usual on line. When my license arrived, it had the shiny gold star of the Real ID without me having to do anything extra. Piece of cake!

Same here.

Got mine the last time I renewed, I guess. Did not even know it until I just checked.

A few other things besides driving, so they say.

Beginning May 3, 2023, your South Carolina driver's license or identification card must have a gold star to show it's a REAL ID in order to use it as your identification to board a domestic, commercial flight, enter a secure federal building, or visit a military installation*.

Thanks for filling me in, bigwheelzip. Fortunately those 3 activities are things I never do, nor intend to do.

Thanks again for the information,
