I actually live in the US and am considering a burner for when I travel.

I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Soon, you'll need it to fly domestically.

They actually set this up pretty far in advance though. For instance, I'm from Texas, where any IDs issued since October 2016 are complaint. It's impossible for me to have a current ID that's non-compliant.

So from my perspective there won't really have been any changes since 2001 in my flying experience.

Starting May 7, yes you’ll need a REAL or Passport to board US domestic flights.

Afaik, your state Id or driver license is your legal identification. And states honor the IDs of other states.

I refused to use id.me to get unemployment insurance because I don't want a private 3rd party having that info plus a face scan.

I worry about this: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id but from the website, it seems that many states id/driver licenses are "REAL ID compliant" and you only need it if you fly domestically or wanting to access "certain federal facilities".

Stay safe, friend.

not in the lower 48, yet. but I haven't taken amtrak recently. no idea for alaska, hawaii, or the colonies.
