If you haven't gotten REAL ID yet, what is your main reason?

If you plan to fly somewhere for spring break or graduation next year, you’ll need more than a standard driver’s license to get on the plane.
REAL ID enforcement will start on May 7, 2025.
The federal government delayed it by two years, giving residents more time to get ID cards that comply with the security requirements.
The Washington State Department of Licensing also saw several effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. Fewer people came in to renew their licenses, and staff numbers declined, which caused a significant backlog in applications.

    I’m too busy working and paying taxes so the government can give away our money to lazy drug addicts.

    Everyone should tell them how RACIST they are being by requiring ID! Isn't that their argument about why we shouldn't require it for voters?

    So we get our national ID card whether we want to or not. Sure, you don't need to present it to cross state lines, at least not yet. Why isn't the standard Washington State ID card valid according to the US government? Why are they allowed to dictate legistlation to the states?

    Every time I went in to get the Real ID, they said the documents were not enough. Birth certificate and SS card was not enough. I needed my voter registration card. Or you can just use the BC and SS card. Why isn't that enough? They are asking for an annoying amount of proof when its obvious I am who I say I am. Plus I don't travel that much. Might drive to TJ, MX
