Reply to comment by Jesus-Mcnugget in Real ID licenses? by Background-Bee1271

>it's required if you ever have to enter any secure federal property. It's not just travel. Courthouses, military installations and most federal agencies

TIL the feds can't touch me as long as I don't get a real ID!

This is not 100% accurate.

There are many forms of ID that are accepted to enter federal properties, including a Passport.

Yes but they are all Real ID compliant. The Real ID Act isn't specifically about drivers licenses.

I didn't really mean you had to have the real ID driver's license, just that you have to have some form of compliant identification.

The thing is though, unless you're in the military or have some other form of federal government issued identification, your cheapest option is probably going to be to get the DL or state ID that's compliant.
