Real ID Act 2005

[ArmedCorgi]

Anyone up on this? I just renewed my drivers license in september, but since moved and because of the address change got another updated license which now says in the top right corner "Not for federal purposes". My previous renewal did not have this on it. Is this because of the Real Id act of 2005 which is forcing citizens to have a federal id, such as a passport, to travel by air domestically?

Is it like the enhanced driver's licenses? (i.e. that isn't one.)

I got an EDL when they came out (Ooo, big brother, scary!), because I go diving in Canada yearly.

 

[Saltwater60]

Yep unless you have an enhanced NYS DL it's a no go for flying now. You'll need a passport.

 

[Podmonkey]

Is that just an NY/commie state thing? My PA CDL doesn't have that on there, am I good?
It should be, you gotta go through extra shit for a CDL.

No. This affects every state. From what I gather though, some state's ID's are in "compliance" with DHS standards and some are not.

Papers please

I'm not sure but I don't think it starts till 2020. Corgi, you can take that ,your birth certificate and or SScard back to DMV and they will upgrade you to the Fed approved for ten bucks. Just renewed mine last week.

Asinine. They took a BJs card not too long ago.

If I recall correctly some states issue licenses to illegal aliens therefore the Feds will not recognize them for anything that they are involved in.

 

[HIghlander]

I just renewed mine in August and it has the Executive Deputy Commissioner name in that corner.

I have also heard this.

That's what happens when you give licences to "undocumented immigrants" (illegal trespassers/invaders) that no one knows who they truly are or where from.

that ruins it for everyone else because now the entire population of NY licence holders may potentially be corrupted because there are illegal aliens in this state possessing ny licences so yep as usual good job liberals, thanks for whoring us out to steal more voted for yourselves.

 

[Jsmegs77]

Hmm, mine doesn't have that. Issued Jan 2016, non-enhanced. It is a Class A though, which may or may not make a difference.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I guess it's just the new standard NYS license. Federal REAL ID

I renewed March 2017. Mine is like yours. It doesn't say anything like what the OP showed.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I renewed mine in September and it was like yours. I have since moved and the new ID I received has the Federal notice on it. There must be a cut off where they are doing this for newly issued ID's.

 

[GOPerfect]

It has started and Americans are to blind and stupid to see it. Sooner than later, we will all be chipped and no one will do anything to stop it!

Soon, only a Federal Issued ID will be allowed.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

This country is gone.

 

[stuck in ny]

Oh yeh, I can't count all the times the illegals have shouted "Montizuma Akbar!!!" "I am taking over this plane in the name of the 1919 Mexican government!!!"
Frickin "security" tards in the senate.
Since when do we need paperwork to move about in our own country? Who the f*ck is the president? Lavrentiy Beria?

 

[MikeyCNY]

But don't worry, you don't need a Real ID to vote!

 

[HIghlander]

This is on the Real ID site.

"You DO NOT need to get a REAL ID now
DMV expects that all driver licenses, permits and ID cards will remain acceptable for domestic flights and for access to federal facilities until October 1, 2020. New York began issuing the REAL ID document on October 30, 2017. You can convert to a REAL ID at any time."

And mine doesn't expire until 2025. So that must mean I have to get it changed over by Oct. 1st 2020??!!! That is so stupid.

 

[stuck in ny]

The states should arrest federal agents and expel them from their borders. States rights.

Only if you want to fly and don't have an acceptable ID.

"Ihre Papiere, bitte!" unless your are voting.

Starting in 2020, you will need a "REAL ID" for domestic flights. There is no additional cost over the regular license (this is what's shown in the OP) but you need to show additional documentation when applying for the license, including proof of residence. If your license is expiring soon and you don't already have a passport or EDL, I would suggest upgrading to the REAL ID license if there is any chance you will be doing any flying. Otherwise, you might find yourself having to go back to the DMV and paying for another license.

Nothing new here, you have needed to shown an ID to board a flight for as long as I can remember.

 

[Phazer]

DAMMIT! I renewed my license in March 2017 and they didn't even mention "Real ID." I'd have done it at that time. Now I'm going to have to go back to the godforsaken DMV...again.

 

[Catskillkid]

Yeah, it would've been nice to let everyone renewing all know this. Probably wouldn't have effected me though since mine was reissued back in 2014 before this stuff started (I think).

 

[VietnamEraVet]

You're a young buck! Hell, back in the day all you needed was a paper boarding pass and everybody not flying could go to the gate with you as well.

I think they only recently started offering the REAL ID license, like within the past four months.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Some of the comments here are just . Real ID's would prevent illegals with State issued driver's licenses from flying and accessing federal facilities. You guys want the illegals to have the convenience of flying?
