No... I got mine over a year ago. Made an appointment at DMV, walked in and walked out 10 minutes later... new license received in a week by mail.

If you can not prove you are legal and have proper documentation perhaps you will not be ready. I see a man showing me an expired Mexican driver license from 2011 and wonder how he can get around? Real estate VP broker with no driver license driving people around showing homes.

They make these difficult intentionally, a strategy to keep certain people from access to things like jobs, voting and govt services.

I renewed in the last year. They gave us the option of keeping our current license or "upgrading" to the new ones. I guess it's different from state to state.

I have not gotten mine yet, nor do I have any plans to do so anytime soon.  When I fly, it's usually international and all I need then is my passport.  I can still use the passport for domestic flights, so not a concern here either.  My CCW had more address and identity verification than the Real ID does, so that's still the only ID I need to show for buying guns.

It's not complicated if you bring ALL the reuired documents, which means digging up your actual Social Security card (!!!), two government-issued id's and two proofs of residence (eg recent bank or utility bills) plus you have to be present for a new photo. The Federal licenses are not mandatory, you can get a "regular" one with minimal documentation, but will not be able to use it when flying as of October 2020 (that date keeps getting pushed back).

I have my new Real I.D. Piece of cake!

I have heard horror stories about others who have been frustrated, after waiting in long lines, being turned away for lack of the proper documentation.

I made an appointment well ahead of time and I read on the on-line instructions before showing up for my appointment.

Admittedly, my situation is not as complicated as someone who recently moves, lacks a passport or certified birth certificate. lack legal proof of name change such as certified marriage certificate or divorce papers.

I know one individual who got turned away because the lease to her rental - she recently sold her home - is in the name of Pat and her identification is in the name of Patricia!
