question everything

Time to renew my driver's license [View all]

Will apply to Real ID. Am not sure what "enhance" is, except more expensive and allows border crossings. I thought that a regular license allows this..

So I went to the DVS and through the whole pre application. What an ordeal. Had to fish both my SS card and passport and scan them and upload.

And now have to wait three days for their OK.

Sigh..
