for instance, if a driver's license were revoked, I would still have a form of ID

interesting! did not think about it from this angle.

 

[Eugene]

and I was told going forward it will be required to enter any federal building

 

[Claire Yeon]

I had a person come through my branch once who thought they would be able to get on a plane with expired ID. First and only time I've laughed derisively at a customer to their face.))

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

REAL is also required for entering a military base

ahh, i think i read that once but forgot. makes sense. more sense than boarding a domestic flight tbh.

 

[Victorique]

Technically, since its "current" id, you can still get a passport

 

[Victorique]

Even if you lose other id on any grounds

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

and I was told going forward it will be required to enter any federal building

i haven't heard that but you're much better connected than i to governmenty things. it wouldn't surprise me, and again, would make a certain amount of sense.

 

[Eugene]

My question though, is since the burden of proof for obtaining a passport and a REAL compliant ID is the same, why not enable REAL to act as a passport, or simply add a driver's license endorsement to a passport and admit they're the same?

 

[Eugene]

Take the bit about federal buildings with a grain of salt. It's hearsay at this point.

 

[Deric Storm]

bc it would make too much sense

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

could be wrong, but i don't believe real ids have rfids.

 

[Deric Storm]

passports do? since when?
