About the real id

[questionseverything]

After Wednesday will we need real id for federal buildings like the social security office?

1. Uncertain about federal buildings, but

if they'll let you on planes with a passport, I guess that would also apply to federal buildings.

3. The Secretary of State in Illinois was on the news saying

Even for planes, a person could fly domestically without real id for 2 years but boarding would take longer

While I’m sure a passport would work I’m asking about just a regular driver’s license for the social security building ( since now we have to show up in person for so many things)

We were not worried about getting a real id because we will never fly but thinking of federal buildings, if one is needed for the ss building it could be a mess for people

2. I got back from the USA a week ago

I don't know if there were any new restrictions in place by then, but since I use my passport as ID everywhere, I'm not sure I would have noticed a difference.

4. It begins tomorrow

I looked it up and the social security office will still take a regular state id but if I want to visit the nuclear power plant I need real id

5. Good thing I don't visit American nuclear power plants more often than once a week when I'm there. Sometimes less.

(i.e. never)

8. Actually I think the passport works anywhere

6. According to the regulation- Yes

How it will be implemented or observed I’m not sure.

7. I applied for mine in late March.

Still have not received it.

Then I am told, I may have to change apartments being that my husband will be in another, more expensive area due to declining health. This will occur later this week.

Being that I applied and paid for a Real ID non-drivers and may have to move to a smaller apartment, what will happen? I would also have to re-register to vote as well.

9. All I can say is this.

I have not had such issues with a license since I was a teen in the freaking late seventies.

When I lived in Tennessee, I went into the DMV and, barring any issues, I walked out with my document.

Although I mention North Carolina in the seventies as being as bad as here, they fixed this later on. I was also able to walk out with my documents after a visit. (Again, barring any issues.)

Here? HAH! 'Six to eight weeks'?!?

Nice to know that some places really love bureaucracy.

10. It's not a big deal

Have the proper documents (Social Security card, etc.) and it only took me 15 minutes.

A passport works as it’s the best government ID there is. Global Entry also works.

Having all one’s proper ID’s is prudent these days.
