This is my lucky day. For the 1st since the 20th century, I don't have to jump through hoops to get my driver's license renewed. They're just sending me a new one in the mail with the pic on file from 2016. Sitting in that photo center for an hour fucking blows.

I had to get a replacement SS card a couple of months ago and it was a real hassle, all the docs and waiting at the SS office, a real PITA. Then I see last week our state (one of the few left) finally allowed SS card replacement via internet. FML ;)
Luckily our local BMV is pretty low key and it's not bad to get a new license. I don't have a REALID one though, but I don't plan on flying anywhere. That's what started the whole SS card search.

PS: I found my old original SS card, lol

Our DMVs are closed. So there's no replacing a card if you let it lapse for say 2 years.

Mine was compounded as my birth certificate reads: "Barn Asshole Buster" but I was always known as "Asshole Barn Buster" from an early age, thus my original SS, DL and all subsequent docs don't exactly match my BC. :(

I must have lived a sheltered life because I got a SS card in 1969 and don't ever remember anyone ever asking to see it. Still have it though.

I still have my draft card too and it still says 1-S.

But I have been studying something or other since 1972 so my student deferment should still apply :grin:.

I got mine in the 60's and needed it for the REALID. First time I needed it in decades, too. I think one company asked to see it prior to hire but that's it.

Yeah, I was going to get a RealID too when I went to the DMV photo center but since I don't have to go there now the hell with it. All they do is put a star on your new license.

I can always get it through my local state representative's office but I haven't flown since the '70s anyway and it does cost money for that. You would think a RealID would be free if they wanted people to have them. They just want more money.

Greed/more money.

I recently had my address changed on my license.

They asked if I wanted the RealID.

The only difference in the one I have and the RealID is $50.00.

When asked what is needed to get the RealID they recited each piece of ID that I gave when I was 16 and got the first one.

I firmly believe it is a money grab and the skies will be no safer for the drain on my wallet.:finger:

I have zero doubt that there are people making passable fake RealIDs somewhere anyway. It's just a plastic card.
