Real ID-compliant licenses now available in Missouri

[Sherman A1]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Department of Revenue is now offering licenses and identifications that comply with stricter federal identification requirements under the Real ID Act.

Missourians starting on Monday can apply for an updated driver's or non-driver license.

Real ID-compliant identification will be required to board planes and enter certain federal buildings in October 2020. Passports and some other federally issued identification also will qualify.

Until then, current state-issued licenses will work.

2. Minnesota has finally made them available

It's easier to get a passport than one of these licenses, more expensive, but a passport is good for 10 years. And you can use your passport as ID when getting this license. It makes no sense to me at all.

3. I refuse to get one.

I have a passport but I don’t carry it except when traveling. If I can’t enter a federal building without my “papers” then fuck ‘em.
