    One day, the divers license works fine, the next day it turns into an arduous process. What exactly changes about the probability provability of your identity?

    I’d love to hear what the full processes for checking IDs are in all three cases: RealID, Drivers License, Drivers License after RealID is required.

      Nothing really, it’s just a way for the federal government to expand control and tracking of people.

      The documentation required to obtain a REAL ID is federally mandated (proof of identity, citizenship, and residency), whereas previously all states kinda did their own thing. Additionally, there are required verification services for those documents (when possible), e.g. passports have to get verified through the US Passport Verification System, etc.

      Happy to share more, if you’re interested :)
