DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY -

BE YOUR REALID SELF - DEADLINE: MAY 07, 2025 

 

After years and years of preparation, among the waves of disagreement on the policy - We are now at the Starting Line in using this form of identification for especially flying.

 

Could it be used for other things too?  

 

Are you ready?

this whole thing is funny to me, I guess because I could care less. People have been putting off getting it for how many years? Every morning all the local news show the long lines. People acting like they have to have it on that day.

 

As for me, I don't need one, if my DL won't work than I don't need it. Never ever going to get on a plane and if the fed's need me then they can come to my house or let me in without one.

Is it a choice in VA on whether or not you get a regular license or a REAL ID type?  We don’t have a choice as to the type in my state - you must get the REAL ID and we have been doing it so long that there isn’t any big push to get it now as the flight date is upon us.

 It just seems so riduculous to need different documents to fly on a plane and one to go into federal buildings, understand about immigration but americans suffers more.
