    I mean, at this point we’ve known it was coming for like 20 years now - really no excuse to not have one.

      My excuse was I didn’t want a federal ID card. Not under a democrat and especially not under Trump.

        Real ID is still a state issued ID. It just now complies with a federal standard.

        Passport is a Federal ID.

          So it’s a state id card the federal government will have an easy time accessing rather then a federal id card the federal government will have a easy time accessing?

            The real ID requirements on state-issued cards don’t change or improve the ability for the federal government to access… They already have all the access they need into state IDs and all your info plenty of other ways.

            All state IDs, real ID or not, are shared with the NLETS Federal registry.

                It standardizes the requirements to obtain the ID across states. There is more proof of residency and citizenship required than a standard ID.
