Good morning Chat Folk. All is good here. Lots of power outages and closed roads due to downed trees and power lines, but our little bit of the world is okay. I have no idea what 'Real ID' is. Can someone help me ?

Hope the plumber gets out today. No water is about as inconvenient as no electricity.

We have no water when electric is out, since we have a well. But there is always the river!

Hi Debby! I fell back to sleep so now I can start my day. Need coffee

I fell back asleep too!

I'm ok, live on the side of a mountain. Lots of folks around me are having issues and several roads are closed. They've re-opened schools today so it's getting better. My pastures are a mess. Virtually impossible to find a water leak in pouring rain. We got like six inches over a couple of days.

That sounds like a real mess Bob. They must be working on things since the schools are re-opening. Hope your things are back in order soonest!

Good morning Chat Folk. All is good here. Lots of power outages and closed roads due to downed trees and power lines, but our little bit of the world is okay. I have no idea what 'Real ID' is. Can someone help me ?

I did some poking around and found this definition:
"the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses.”

It's the result of 9/11 and trying to prevent terrorists entry into the country. Instead of each state determining requirements for things like driver's licenses, standards were set by the Federal Gov.

There are new requirements put in place to obtain an ID or license; all applicants must present the following documents during the application process:

• A photo ID, or non-photo ID that contains the applicant’s full legal name and birth date
• Valid birth certificate
• Social Security number
• Proof of legal U.S. citizenship, OR proof of lawful admittance into or temporary residence within the U.S.

Also, each state must share it's database with all other states.

It's been slow being adopted country-wide because some states object partly because while the Fed Gov mandated it, they aren't funding it. Some are concerned about a national database and some feel it infringes on states rights.

Ok, probably more than anyone wanted to know (but I thought it was interesting to learn more about it)

Well said Debby.

@N F C maybe NJ already has this ? I know that in order to get a license it is necessary to provide most of this information, and licenses have photo ID.
