Thx Karen. This is disturbing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ID_Act

Real ID is Florida since 2010. Ninety-eight percent of all IDs are “real” since December 2023. As I recall, there was no discussion about it when I applied for my Florida driver’s license in 2018.

Well perhaps if you don't want a REAL ID you can get your state DMV to issue a regular drivers license when it is time to renew. The issue with these federal control freaks is never the real issue and that goes for REAL ID too.

Every Politician is a NAZI... Real ID?

This exact Technology is nothing but a modern Version of the technology used in the Concentration Camps of Auschwitz. This Technology was invented by Herman Hollerith of IBM as an Identification based Database for the NAZIS to categorize Prisoners in Auschwitz. The Tattoo then is the Digital ID / Tattoo / chip linked to a Database of everything. The principle Technology is Identical. This must get out to the people it is a Scandal.

I just don't get it that people swallow that crap.

I wrote this over two years ago and it just gets ignored.

Kudos.

When renewing a driver’s license, do you think we have the option of reverting back to a non-REAL ID ?

Do you currently have a REAL ID driver's license? Given the program is not mandatory (yet) one would assume you could opt out and get a regular license back but I could find no answer to that question. I would contact someone in your state DMV...if they say you cannot go back I would challenge that response. Let me know what or if you find anything out about your question.

I got the REAL-ID in New Hampshire in 2020, when I hadn’t suspected everything conducted by the government yet. I will update you after I have got the answer.

Thank you. Yes the count on the fact that people are clueless and they are because they keep this stuff close to the vest. Good Luck.
