Real ID

[Coach]

So I finally got my Real ID today.

I hate going to the CA DMV. It’s usually a xxxx show time warp.

Well I went in this morning and it wasn’t too bad. It was raining so that kept the people down.

A little over an hour start to finish is not bad.

I had to go in because I’m about to turn 60 and they wouldn’t let me renew my license by mail.

Now I can buy my guns without having to bring my passport or birth certificate with me.

On another positive note, Judge Benitez struck down the CA law of background checks for buying ammunition as unconstitutional.

I had to get an original embossed copy of my birth certificate for my Wisconsin drivers license.

Most the time i have to go to liscence office here in missouri for plates or whatever its only about a 15 deal.....

Yes, I had to provide an official embossed copy too for the Real ID.

I have a Real ID driver's license, too. Renewed it by mail in 2022; expires in 2030.

Just renewed my Pistol permit by mail, too. Expires in 2028. Allows me to conceal carry and purchase both firearms and ammunition.

I was concerned about doing the pistol permit by mail, but it was uneventful.

When I renewed, I also got realid. All I needed was a my current passport and a government issued letter showing my current address. The drivers license renewal letter served that purpose. I went to a different DMV office this time. I was told it was run timely and efficiently. Definitely was. I was maybe 45 or 50 in line, but was in and out in 45 minutes.

I got the enhanced license here in NY. As you described Coach, it was a real show all right. It took around two hours. It was like they had never done one before.
I also don't like NY DMV very much.

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?

In the top right corner it will have a star or something if it’s a Real ID.

If it’s not it will say Federal limits apply in the same place. Or something else like that.

I got 2 E-mails from 2 different vendors in the last day or two saying that "We can now ship Ammo to CA".
