My 84yo mom says she's ready to give up driving. I'm thrilled that she's made this decision on her own, with no prompting from me, but I want to be sure she still has legal ID after her license expires, including Real ID-compliant ID for travel.
What's the best solution—renew her passport? Non-driver's ID from DC? Anybody converted a DL to non-driver ID in DC and know how complicated it is or isn't? I'm thinking a card-sized ID for things like showing at doctors' offices would be sensible instead of or in addition to a passport. Thanks! |

| Non-driver's ID. Very common. |

| If she does not plan to fly internationally she can use the passport renewal application and just get a passport card for $30 instead of getting the passport book. It will last 10 years and you won’t have to deal with the DC DMV. |
