Real ID Deadline Postponed

[WalnutBaron]

There is no new deadline imposed for the acquisition of the Real ID.

I wonder if we will still be able to renew our licenses online at this point. Mine is due to expire November 2020 and I was going to do it ahead of time and get the real ID then.

This is BS. States have had 15 years to get their act together.

Yes, and most states have a plan in place to be compliant. I "think" the delay is so that people won't be going into the DMV, like I would have had to do, until this is contained. I'm not even sure the DMV or MVD (whatever your state office is called) are open at this point.

Still glad we walked into the DMV at 4:45 one day last month and got it done!

Oregon has not even started serious planning. They keep hoping for extensions.

Really? That's not what I see when I check on Oregon.

"Beginning July 6, 2020, Oregonians will have the option of obtaining driver licenses or identification cards that are compliant with the federal Real ID Act."

Governor Brown just asked for another extension.

Governor Brown just asked for another extension.

For what reason? Due to COVID-19 or just because?

Shoot. This means I could'a waited on getting a new DL photo.
I would'a liked looking 12 years younger for a few more months.

My Ohio license expires this June, but we are relieved from renewals per our governor. I read that expired licenses will be accepted as valid ID fo fly which might make sense for flights departing from Ohio, but unless the policy is federally implemented, using such as ID might be refused departing from the other 49 states. Thank goodness, I've a passport good for another 7 years!

As if there's good reason to fly anywhere anytime soon.

No flights booked for us until 8/21 to CPH. We will be looking to fly r/t to PDX mid-October.

For many countries, your passport needs to be valid for 6 mos.
beyond international travel. I'd start the process for renewal.

I just read that the new deadline is now October 2021.
Oh, well. At least, I got a fancy new DL in the process.
