Please don't get REAL ID You are enslaving yourself it is VOLUNTARY, despite what TSA and DMV tell you. There is an extensive list of government-acceptable documents that can be used instead of REAL ID. REAL ID expands federal surveillance and data sharing on you. It creates a legal joinder and commercial designation . It ties you to the ALL CAPS name (ens legis), reaffirming participation in commerce or corporate citizenship (US Person status), For those of us that fight to keep the living woman/man separate from the fictitious entity your birth certificate and social security number created. This ID makes you a "federal citizen". this blatantly violates State rights. Beware of anything being offered to you that claims to make life easier and more convenient. You are always giving up your rights for it. You can go back to the DMV and request a traditional license. I travel without a license in an automobile. I don't drive a motor vehicle when on public roads.
