    Get a drivers license
    I hope you had your drivers license at the drive through!

    Did the drive through have braille?

    In Massachusetts it is called a Real ID.
    The only way you can tell is there is a gold star in the upper corner of your license.
    I got one when I renewed my license over the summer. Had to produce all the documents to get it.
    After October 2021 you won't be able to fly anywhere without one.

    I guess that I am also for you renewing your driver's license.
    It's a lot harder to get back if you let it expire.

    What's a state passport, do I need my Canadian passport to go from state to state now?

    When I renewed my drivers license in August of 2019 I was encouraged to get the 'Enhances License' as it would allow me to fly with less hassles. While I don't fly that often on occasion I would need the special license.

    It's my understanding that this new license has a chip in it and if I were to cross into Canada or Mexico they would scan my license when I entered and when I left. I do know that I was given a special sleeve to keep the license in to prevent it being scanned by crooks and such.

    I was very disappointed that I didn't get to keep the same number as I'd had that number for 50 years and I knew it by heart.

    I was surprised that at the age of 66 I didn't have to take an eye test or have a new photo taken. The next time I need to renew will be in 2025.

    Anyway, I'd get the drivers license as you never know when you might need to be able to drive.

    My bill fold prevents scanners from reading any of the cards.

    A crook can walk up behind you and scan your cards.

    No, no chip in the drivers license. It just means they went through the added procedure of requiring additional verifiable Ids.

    Chip, Scan Bar,Reader Bar---Whatever it is, I was told to ALWAYS keep my license in the protective card.

    And yes, I had to provide a Birth Certificate AND Proof of Residence. I took in a copy of my birth certificate and a copy of a canceled check for my rent.

    Anyway, I won't have to deal with that BS for another 4 years.
