I tried to get REAL ID the last time I renewed my driver’s license. I carefully followed all the directions on the web site and made an appointment at the DMV. Despite waiting more than an hour for my appointed time, when I got up to the window, they asked me for documentation that I didn’t have with me and that according to the web site, I didn’t even need. After all that wait, I wound up getting a regular license but was concerned that I was running out of time to comply with REAL ID. I shouldn’t have worried. — Dissent.
