i dont have a real id and my passport is outdated so i will not be able to fly and will not be able to enter some federal buildings
it is not that i dont want one i havent taken the time to do it yet
a real id will soon be required to fly later this month or to enter some federal buildings
you can get by on a passport to fly but im not sure about getting into a federal building
yes i plan on getting both of them
maybe
after seeing this story below unfold im not sure i want to try
heres the story
a sad story
a screwed up story on where we have gone crazy
a relative of ours has a friend that plans to fly to san francisco from santa barbara to visit her daughter
this is a trip she makes once or twice a year
its an easy one
you drive about 10 min to our airport hop on a plan to san francisco and her daughter picks her up at the airport
its about a 45 minute flight to san frrancisco from here
if you drive it it can be 4-8 hours depending on the traffic
she is 93 years old
she is retired
she lives alone
she still drives so she has a real california state drivers license
she shops for herself
she goes to the doctors alone
she does her own banking
she cooks for herself and i might add is an excellent cook
she married about 50 years ago and was divorced later
so now she has to have a real id or a passport to fly
she has no passport
her flight is paid for and is next week
so off to the dmv to get her real id
my wife she went with her to help get her through this
she has a birth certificate
she has her divorce records
she has her state drivers license
she has her social security card
she has her utility bills
she has her bank statements
she has her rental agreements
so they waited in line and waited in line
you know how that is
then
that lady behind the desk that controls your future
said
no we have to have your marriage certificate to prove what you name is or use to me
not sure why
so where were you married
i dont remember but i think it was santa barbara
no
her relative thinks it was las vegas
it apparently was santa barbara almost 70 years ago
so they get out of line and off they go to the county office
well
that was a long time ago the lady said it will take us a while to track it down
so our friend waited and waited and a week later they went down to the office again
no its gonna be awhile before we can find it
we will let you know
you know what they mean right its in the mail or ill call you
so
back to dmv again
waiting in line
waiting in line
theres that lady again
no you gonna have to get that marriage license to prove your name
hint to that lady look at her drivers license you gave her and the rental agreement and the bills she had and her income tax form and her social security card and her social security checks
what else do your want
sorry
we need your marriage license
I do wonder if her name was smith or jones instead of an hispanic name would they have acted different
so
her grandson will drive her the long long trip to san francisco
her daughter will drive her back to santa barbara on a return long long drive
why
i realized if i wanted to fly somewhere right now i couldnt since i dont have an unreal id and my passport is outdated
i didnt renew it since i didnt think i would ever need it again
was i wrong huh
i wonder if we will soon have to go through all of this to vote
