| One of Us |
If you are an American traveling domestically by air, as of May 7, you will be required to present identification that complies with the REAL (Realizing Enhanced Authentication and Licensing) ID act that was passed back in 2005. The 20-year gap between enacting and enforcing the law is due to a lot of pushback from politicians and states. This ends next month. The good news is that all currently issued state driver’s licenses are REAL ID compliant. So, what’s the bad news? As of January of last year, 44% of drivers did not have a REAL ID compliant license. Everyone 18 and older must have one to travel by air as of May 7. In lieu of a REAL ID, the following documents are accepted for domestic air travel and entry to federal facilities after May 7, 2025, per TSA and DHS guidelines: • U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card • Global Entry Card • Trusted Traveler Program Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST) • Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) • U.S. Military ID (active duty, retiree, reservist, or dependent) • DHS-issued Enhanced Driver’s License (available in some states like WA, NY, MI, VT, MN) • Federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe ID (with photo) • Border Crossing Card (Form DSP-150) • Foreign Passport (for non-immigrant temporary visitors, with additional entry documents) • Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) | ||

After years of announcements and delays, if people don't have their real IDs by the deadline, it's their own fault if they don't get to travel.

Saeed, Again, you speak of that which know nothing. This new ID program has been in the making for at least 5 years. Signs are posted in every airport and every airline has notices when you buy a ticket. The issue is that in the US, we have 50 states that have different types of government issued ID's, usually driver's licenses. Nearly every state has adopted the new type of license with an imbedded image that cannot be copied or faked. This imbedded image is read by a scanner, much like a scanner used for facial ID on Global Entry or other methods. The EU uses a similar system. The goal is validate who is traveling and to target people traveling under false ID's. If you can recall, the Saudi's under Bin Laden committed a heinouse act in our country in 2001. If this had been in place and enforced then, likely would not have happened. We have our wonderful friends that like to blow up planes, kill innocents and then parade around the world as if the US or the West is the problem. I struggle to think of a situation where having proper identification is corrupt if you are truly just a traveler... Your logic astounds. This is no different than a passport requirement or some other ID card used in most countries. The system was approved to impletment in 2005 but slow to take off until the last 5 years. How is that corrupt??? How is letting people choose leadership corrupt??? We have a choice, you do not in your mini empire of an emirate. If we do not like our leaders, we vote them out every two to four years. How is that corrupt??? It is only corrupt if you are trying to flaunt or bypass the legal system. Your "wisdom" truly amazes me. Or perhaps I am just too stupid to understand warped logic and hatred for other peoples who have systems that work. | |||

Dogcat. I may be wrong but I think Saeed's comments are in regards to not needing an ID to vote. There's the potential for corruption. | |||

RCG, If that is correct, he is right... but I have yet to see him support anything in a democracy... Here is the info on Real ID https://www.foxnews.com/politi...why-real-id-enforced | |||

Keep in mind that even Mexico has a voter ID, and after installing it, their corruption at the polls decreased markedly. For us, we have had serious problems with undocumented criminal aliens. The NAS Saudi student at Pensacola Naval Air killed a US citizen, then was deported. He may have found his reward upon returning home, but ... Interesting that many of our domestic criminal alien problems started in 2008 with that infidel administration. It only tapered off in 2024. For anyone caring to see a list of the damages done by BHO, including funds to Hamas-just PM me with your email address. Of course, I am just a retired ICE-State Dept Agent, and a combat veteran-so what could I know? "The Truth shall make you free." Avatar | |||

The only reason I don't have a real ID DL is the idiotic hoops they put me through to get one. I even brought with more ID than they needed and standing in line the 6 people in front of me were bounced due to "not having all the required ID". I got there and they bounced me as well. (even though I had a valid passport and 6 other government picture ID's) My old DL was expired by 1 day. The law here is that you have 30 days after your birthday... They let me renew that one, but for the real ID they insisted I would need to renew that and come back again to get the real ID. Screw that crap, I can take a passport or my global entry card with on the occasions I need to fly. (I had been there on my birthday but they shut the line down while I was in it as it was closing time... the line was on average 30 people long.) That the conventional DL renewal was $18, and the real ID compliant was $120 was also a joke. | |||

Don’t get us started! There is absolutely NO justification to not require an ID to vote. FFS, I can’t even buy Sudafed for a head cold without showing photo ID. | |||

Yeah, we have to hold our nose to vote. Do people in UAE ever get to vote? Or is it always decided by a winning sperm? | |||

I have had one for a couple of years. It did not cost 128 dollars here. It was no more a hassle than applying gif your selfies SL. The only problem is in KY we did not have local DMV. You hit your DL and IS cars from the Circuit Court Clerk. When real ID came on, the state took the issuing of is ls away from the Circuit Court Clerk. Every county has one, and created regional dmv like offices that are Tre devil for folks to access. Older and rural folks are especially placed in difficulty. A bill to bring the process back k yk the. Circuit Court Clerks failed because it requires the Department of Transportation to pay for the equipment to be installed in the Circuit Clerks Offices they are located in the County Courthouses and Judicial Centers. I support voter id laws, but if your state does not have such a law, the legislature is either to blame or doing their job depending on your point of view. I would support Congress passing a law that any election that a candidate appears like for Federal Office requires a state issued ID to receive the ballot. Congress has not passed that law. I do not have the votes. In KY, you have to show an ID. At least, we always have been required by local election officials. | |||

I made an appointment for today (6/3/25). It was for 9:10AM. I got there at 8:50, checked in, stood in line for no more than 5 minutes. I was back in my truck at 9:07, including them renewing my DL for another 5 years. AZDMV seems pretty efficient. The days of standing around for hours are over. Formerly "Nganga" | |||
