I got my WA enhanced driver's license at my renewal before the last one. At that time I don't think many people were getting them, lots of people were there waiting but since one person was doing only enhanced licenses I was called pretty quickly.

Went in last month for a renewal and now you can make an appointment online. Literally no one was there waiting, walk in the door, sign in on a computer with your confirmation # and I didn't even get sat down before I was called. Out in less than 10 minutes, didn't need any other documents with me since I already had an enhanced license. They do still accept walk-ins but people with an appointment have priority.

A lot more expensive than they used to be. With the extra charge for being enhanced, extending it from 6 years to 8 years and keeping my motorcycle endorsement it was $170.

Mags,

The last time I renewed I thought that I went ahead and got the Real ID, but honestly can't recall. Are there any visible differences between a "regular" Oregon driver's license, and the Real Deal?

Thanks, Mags (and Coach...... Sorry I missed that in your post....)!!!

I do indeed have the star as described and shown.

I just assumed that was there because the State somehow knew I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan. :D

Actually, I never even noticed it before. I did notice the different little "hologram-like" pictures of all sortsa weird stuff built in to this license. Which I don't care for. Ya have to tilt the license in the light to see them. Why couldn't they simply just print a normal picture of a bird and leaves on there? After paying that kinda money for the thing, ya shouldn't have to work to see the images. Dumb stupid state........ :mrgreen: :roll: ;)

Have no need for one. I don't fly anymore or go on military bases. Why do I have to prove who I am again while others just walk across and get it all.
Have had a good background check with fingerprints and picture for ATF regulations and that is enough and more than most folks.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the primary reason for the "Real ID"? I have not had any issues with my regular DL.

Thanks Stan,
I figured it was something like that. Maybe I had heard about it, but it just didn't sink in because of the fact that I do not ever intend to fly again...but you never know. It might be a good idea to have one. Carol is a military widow and has to go to the base every few years to update her military ID. I need to ask her if she's aware of this. Would seem to me though that her military picture ID should suffice...dunno.

I appreciate the info.

It’s because of all the illegals getting driver licenses.

At least now I know I’m the REAL COACH!

Flying ain't safe I tell you. :shock:
Of course I spent almost 35 years in aviation both military and FAA so I should know. :lol:

I've flown in everything from UH-1 helicopters to B52s to B747s and so far I'm still here. For 32 years I held
a cockpit pass to all types both military and civilian. Course there have been a few incidents, like getting
shot down once, and out of control a couple of times, but that just goes with the territory. :roll:

But I'm retired now and Carol likes to travel with her cat so we mostly motorhome now. :D
