[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of my MAGA relatives were very unhappy about REAL ID and decided to step down to regular ID because they rarely fly. Didn't want to get all the paperwork.[/quote] They are idiots just as much as the folks that don't think an ID should be required when voting are. "All the paperwork"?? Seriously? Folks need to get their acts together. [/quote] Getting a "Real ID" in Maryland was a pain in the a$$ for me back a few years ago. I managed it, but it took a while. The problem was that the birth certificate I already had, from New York State, was not acceptable to the Maryland DMV. It had everything that was needed and required on it (raised seal, full name of my parents, location of my birth) but for some weird reason NYS called it a "certificate of birth registration" instead of a "birth certificate" and so Maryland DMV decided it wasn't official enough. I had to order a new copy of my birth certificate sent to me, which took about weeks, and cost me whatever VitalCheck was charging back then. Probably about $25ish? In addition, I needed proof of residency. Well, at that point, we paid most of our bills online, so we didn't have a lot of official mail coming to our home. At that time, the DMV told us we couldn't just print out something from our online accounts, it needed to be something mailed to us. The few bills that were mailed were all in my husband's name. Old fashioned, I know, but that's just how it was. Ironically, it was a letter FROM the MD DMV that I was able to use as proof of my residency. At the time I did not have a passport, either. I did have a Social Security card, but the names on my birth certificate, marriage license, and Social Security Card didn't entirely match up (I started using my middle initial and my maiden names as my middle name for my social security card, but not for my MD drivers license. And my mail as proof of residency was just my first name, maiden name initial, and married last name. They eventually accepted it but it was a little dicey. It wasn't impossibly hard to get the real ID but it wasn't super simple, either. I had to go to the DMV three times. Fortunately I was a teacher and was on summer break so I didn't have to miss work.
