Californians may not be able to fly after Jan. 22 without special ID

[fan_since79]

The federal govt. has also warned the DMV that their procedures for issuing the "Real ID" are inadequate.

Get ready for a real snafu.

i don't get what the problem is. i wish they'd give more info, but perhaps it has to do with security features that they don't want to reveal, in which case it makes sense not to disclose what the problem is. 

i have an appointment at the end of the month to renew my license and get a Real ID. I hope they have it resolved by then. I'm flying to washington DC in March with a group of students - it'll suck if this isn't resolved by then.

i thought the real ID wasn't supposed to go into effect until 2020?

just get a passport and be done with it.  easier than the DMV anyway.

What the F*ck did I waste 2 hours at the DMV (with an appointment) for then?

[gotbeer]

So I looked up Nevada Real Id requirements, and they say they are certified.  The only difference between Calolfornia and Nevada is in Nevada you have to supply 2 documents proving residency (utility bill, bank statement, etc) where Calolfornia you needed one.  If that is what is holding this up, then the entire staff at the DMV should be fired.

This is what is holding it up, they were told back in November.

I spent nearly 6 hours in there back in April. 

I can't wait till we see Newsom's health care version of the DMV.

"Mr. Patterson urged Mr. Newsom and the State Legislature to prioritize fixing the D.M.V. in the upcoming year."

Yay, a band aid for a severed limb.  And a small band aid at that.  But at least it has a cute comic character on it.

[m0nkey]

I was in and out in 40 minutes.

30 minutes because I was standing in the non-appointment line like an idiot.

[Taylor]

Because of this thread, I set an appointment for my wife and I to get ours. There were no appointments available at Laguna Hills or San Clemente. The soonest at Santa Ana was March 12.

Wait, the DMV website says we don't need REAL IDs until October 1, 2020.

That's what I thought too.

I don't know what the hell's going on with the article, but I posted it to see if anyone else can figure it out.
