REAL ID question

[jeepster09]

Does all this REAL ID talk mean I can no longer use my FAKE ID?

IDs are like guns.
They are all not made the same...

Of couse not. Rest easy. You can still use it to buy beer.

I had to renew Texas DL this year (wife too) and they requiered all the "new" documentation. I guess we now have "real ID's", but I didn't know I did that until just now...

Thanks folks, for filling in the blanks... I guess. I might fly again someday, so I guess that's okay.

My CHL will let me buy any of the firearms I wish to buy.

You need the new "Real ID" to enter Federal buildings. I have never been in one, so don't know how common the need is.

If I'm charged with a federal crime, but don't have read ID, does that mean I can't enter the federal penal system? Hmmm.....

They'll give you a special one in that case... it includes your fingerprints, DNA and bodily markings or scars along with your name, photo, etc. One you don't want. Very expensive.

I live just north of L.A. and just renewed my driver license. I opted for the “real ID”, and had to bring my passport (a certified birth certificate would have worked as well), my social security card, and a utility bill showing my address (I used my cell phone bill). As I am over 70, I also had to pass both a vision test and a knowledge test. From what I saw, most of the people who tripped up lacked a social security card.
