You don't actually have to get a REAL ID. It's not required. You can still get an ordinary driver's license. However, a regular driver's license won't be accepted as valid ID in airports. So, if you want to fly, you'll have to show a passport to even fly domestically, or get a REAL ID. For people who want to fly within the country, but don't have/want a passport, you'll need a REAL ID. But for driving itself, REAL ID isn't required or mandatory.
I tried to get it pre-COVID when I renewed my license, but DMV wouldn't accept my documentation; even though they renewed my "regular" license with no problem. I have a passport card, so I'm not at all worried.
Just go and get it. I got mine like 3 years ago when they were anouncing you needed one to fly and they just kept pushing the dateline back. Just take your birth certificate and soocial security.
Indeed 💯. As long you carry your ID or Driver License and USA Passport 🇺🇸 especially boarding on the plane for both domestic or international flight ✈️.
Not true I'm guessing you don't get out or fly. They have posters at the airport announcing this for the past 4 years. They keep pushing the dateline back.
That's what I said. I already have my USA 🇺🇸 Passport and I just renewed my NYS Driver's Lincense back in September 2023 one week before my Driver's license expired. Also I'm waiting to renewed my USA passport in 2028, so I still have 4 more years to renewed my passport and I will be 💯good 👍 if I ever travel again for both domestic and international flight ✈️. Plus I already have my TSA PreCheck membership since of May of 2023. I'm 👍 good just looking forward to renewed my passport and maybe signing up for Global Entry for traveling domestic or international.
@occupationalclique6533 you don't have to get a real ID if you're going to fly both domestic or international. As long as you have your passport, you're good to go.
This is totally unconstitutional!
Makes me wonder what will they do if flights drastically drop because of this
Not at all!… People who are U.S. citizens or legal residents will either get an Enhanced Driver License or Real ID Driver License.

We don’t want a real id. I’m real enough!
Maybe but are you legal?

The lazy people and the people who have excuses won’t get it done until they are stopped by the TSA. Let’s hope that it’s not postponed again!

It costs $30 to get it for just a non driver's id.
There's no common law for such mis action
I am who I am and folks dont need to know who I am

Just get a Passport! You are better off.
👍I have one, and I'm just waiting to renew my passport in 2028, and I'm good.
This is SUCH BS!!!
If you don't fly, oh well.....👍
I’ve never even heard of this until watching this video. The government has failed spectacularly in making this known.

My state (not NY) went to an enhanced Drivers Licensing system to combat fake ID's, is that not good enough now?
You can travel internationally with an Enhanced Driver License.
Enhanced DL will suffice.
Then the normal ID is going to become useless
Already have a global entry card. So i dont need a real id license
Make it free and I'll get it.
Control n more control while them do whatever they want.
Dspooky 🤡46 administration!
Use your passport.
DMV are violating it , not us ,
If you're an illegal immigrant you don't need no ID to fly, all you need is a copy of an arrest warrant.
Me when I make stuff up.
It should be required to vote.
It's a fake ID.
I have a valid passport, so whats the point of this?
Some people don't have/want passports. Some don't want to show a passport for flying WITHIN the US.
That's what I said. I already have my USA 🇺🇸 Passport and I just renewed my NYS Driver's Lincense back in September 2023 one week before my Driver's license expired.

It proves your legal status in the U.S. and it’s much easier to carry than a passport. In New York State, you can also get an Enhanced Driver License.
An alternative to passport, as most people who travel domestically tend to use state ID/DL instead of passport.
Will drive without a license once its required.
You don't actually have to get a REAL ID. You can still get a regular driver's license for driving. Real ID is needed as valid ID for flying.
@occupationalclique6533 you don't have to get a real ID if you're going to fly both domestic or international. As long as you have your passport, you're good to go.
If you are in the country legally, then there’s no reason not to get a Real ID.
