Ever search for hours for something right in front of you?

I need to take my passport tomorrow to an 11:15 am appointment at the MVA to get my license renewed as a Real-ID card.

I thought I had put it on my dining room table and I had - except I forgot I had put it in a Ziploc bag to make sure I didn't spill anything on it.  I complicated matters by including in the bag the info brochure that came with the passport (back in 2014!), so I didn't realize the passport was hiding in the bag for a couple hours!

I also need to take an orig, Social Security card - somehow mine survived the swimming in the pool with my wallet episode on July 4.

I need two proofs of address and my Car's registration card and my voter registration card are acceptable.  I also have my latest Maryland Teachers Pension statement, my last Water Bill from the County (things "from a government agency") and a couple of other proof of address things just to have extras in case the info on the website as to what works is not up to date.

I just use my passport card. Way easier.

my license expired 8 days before Real ID was set up at the DMV. So if I wanna be "Real" I have to pay some money. I'm going to use my Global entry card  or passport if i have to fly.

I hope you don't have to wait in line too long.  We still can't go to the DMV here without an appointment and appointments are unavailable for more than 2 months.  That 2 months is the limit on when you can get an appointment.
