Real ID - Process

Recommended Posts

Hey Gang,

A note to let you know how the system at the DMV worked for me. With appointment at 10:00 over at the Graves St. El Cajon office, I was in and out in 30 minutes. They appeared to be perfectly professional as they kept me movin' the whole time. I did make my application online in advance, which required setting up a double check ID and password.

1.  Make an Appointment - I got there at 9:45 for 10:00

2. Create application on-line

3  Show Up 10 minutes early

4. Be certain to have your supporting documents as described in the application.

5. Pay with Debit Card or Cash

6. Comb Your hair and wear your best shirt for the photo

Can't Wait for my Real ID to arrive in the mail - 2 weeks

I would suggest using -taking your Birth Certificate as the Identity Document if availible. My daughter had to get her DL renewed and decided to get the Real ID at the same time. Issue was the passport scanner did not work with her passport. It's not uncommon.

I was in and out of San Marcos Rancheros office in one hour without an appointment last week.  In line Friday morning at 6:45 (number 13) and out by 7:45.  Online registration is a big help.  New DL and Real ID.  Hair is overrated...unless your Mr. Paradise...

DL expires in December so I've decided to get the Real I.D. at the same time. I've been scared until I read this. You might be my savoir. Someone has to be.

Beginning October 1, 2020, the federal government will require your driver license or identification card to be REAL ID compliant if you wish to use it as identification to board a domestic flight or enter secure federal facilities that require identification.

If you have a valid U.S. passport or U.S. passport card, military ID, or other federally approved identification, you may use this it as your form of identification to fly within the United States and enter secure federal facilities when new federal ID requirements begin October 1, 2020.

Just to clarify, will all USA Humans need to have a Chipped ID by October 1, 2020?

Just answered my own question with the above link provided...

3. Is REAL ID mandatory?

No. The federal compliant REAL ID driver license or identification card is optional.

If you have a valid U.S. passport or U.S. passport card, military ID, or other federally approved identification, you may use this it as your form of identification to fly within the United States and enter secure federal facilities when new federal ID requirements begin October 1, 2020.  

If you know you will not be boarding a domestic flight or visiting a secure federal facility or military base, you do not need a REAL ID driver license or identification card.

I am taking notes on you Non-Compliant individuals. When it comes time to assign the Real American identity cards, my knitting will bear witness.

I did not get the real ID. Sticking to the old Passport book and card. But I need to remember to take the book to fly.

I had to go to the DMV anyway to renew my license. Opted for the real ID even though I already have passport/border card. Ezpz. Just make sure you bring the appropriate documentation. Read ahead of time what they will/will not accept.

Also, if you a gun owner or purchaser, you will no longer be able to make a  legal firearm purchase in  the state of California without a real ID.
