@NicksmomESQ this fee was to upgrade only, not for a renewal. I suspect it covers the cost of reissuing a valid license.

NY has Enhanced Drivers' Licenses, which are not only good for domestic air travel, but can also be used to cross into Canada and Mexico by land, and to enter any federal building or military base.

You are not alone we do the same here in Texas too, what a pain....Thankfully I have the "star" ID....

@Spurt ??? Is this new? I renew online and then the next renewal is in person and the back to online next time and so forth.

They are slow rolling it here in TN. They only started issuing them here in July this year. My county isn't even processing them yet. ![]()
Also, for the record, you can still enter federal court buildings with a regular ID. So jury duty etc are still on. This is from the Real ID official FAQ.
You do NOT need a REAL ID to:
