Since you already have a passport, you don't 'need' a real ID. The passport will get you on planes and in federal buildings just fine.

That being said, it's 1 or 2 additional pieces of paper and it's always nice to have an added layer of whatever in case something goes cattywampus. I wouldn't rush in your shoes to get my real ID, but I'd probably roll it in the next time you have to update your license anyway.

If you have Triple A.....I made an appointment and was in and out in 7 minutes. Completely painless.

Please explain the relevance of having Triple A. My official Masshole RealID DL is on the way from the RMV, but I’m still new here.

If you're a Triple A member, you can get multiple RMV services done at the AAA office. It's substantially easier to get an appointment, and the time spent in office is miniscule, whereas with the RMV it can take weeks to find an open spot and then you end up waiting an hour and a half anyway LOL
