Dirtyhip Posted September 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 8, 2017 So, many states no longer comply with IDs that will be valid for US domestic travel, on airlines. This seems like a money grab. Like, a way to make a ton of money forcing people to buy US passports. discus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted September 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2017 I have a US Passport and I also have one of the new "super" drivers licenses that serves as a mini passport. The latter requires that you jump through a few hoops when you renew. You will need some proof of citizenship to get one. Passports, birth certificates, bills mailed to your address etc. You will need more than one of these things. You will have to go to the DMV and I believe it costs a couple of dollars more to account for their time. The license is holographic though. It's cool. When they put it on the counter a lady dressed in a long white gown with hair buns says "Obe-Wan. This person is known to me and will be of assistance to the resistance". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted September 8, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2017 The states have known about this since 2013. Most are compliant. Seems the states that did not act have created the dilema for their residents.https://www.dhs.gov/real-id Oregon is making strides towards compliance and has asked for an extension.http://www.kgw.com/news/politics/lawmakers-approve-real-id-standards-for-oregon-drivers-licenses/454976702 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted September 8, 2017 Share #23 Posted September 8, 2017 New York is going to start issuing "Real ID's" sometime in October, although you can still get a non compliant drivers license for use as just a drivers license if you prefer. I don't like to carry my passport, so I'd be annoyed if I had to carry one for every domestic plane trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
