   So we went to the DMV a few weeks ago to get WA licenses. We had WI licenses that were RealID (has a special star on it).
   
   My wife asked them if the normal license was a valid RealID you can fly with but I can only guess the employee was ignorant or thought she said "real id" (vs a fake id? lol) and said yes.
   
   The employee was wrong. Or stupid. Whatever.
   
   When I got mine and they asked if I wanted an "Enhanced ID" I asked a similar question and they seemed confused. It was way more expensive ($100+) and they asked if I consent to it having an RFID chip in it. Yeah, whatever. Give it to me. I'll pay.
   
   So mine is a legit RealID that can be used if/when they actually require it for domestic flights but hers is not. So now we gotta go back to the DMV because I do not want to carry passports around unless I feel it necessary.

     @sun yes, if you can fucking believe it
     
     This shit is a joke especially how every state has a completely different name for the license that qualifies as a Real ID
     
     Also how is it possible to surrender a Real ID license from one state and get a less legitimate license from another state?
     
     I hate the government

     @feld @sun If you don’t have real id in Washington state they turn you into a fucking tree.
     
     You get the green tree not the gold tree.
