Renewed your driver's license lately?
By October of 2020 if you want to board a plane you will need either your passport or a Star Card license.
You're gonna need--
Proof of identity (passport, birth certificate)
Social Security Card (pay stub, W-2)
Proof of residency (bank statement, utility bill)
Took me 3 tries to get it right with the nice folks at the DMV

This is kind of a pain in the ass for me at least, it seems I have to go to the local Social Security office (once I figure out where it is) to get a new card, since I lost my original one about 30 years ago and you can't get a new one online and I'm, uh, "between jobs"so no pay stub or W-2. Been putting it off but it's coming up. You'd think a valid passport and a certified birth certificate and tax returns/bills etc. would work but apparently nope.

Getting ready to. Moved states recently and need to update my driver's license anyway so might as well get the upgrade and not have to worry about it again.
It sucks to suck.

You’d think maybe the airlines might flex against making it unappealing and difficult to use their business.

You actually can. If you hold a passport there is no need to get the Real License as they call it. You just need to carry your passport everywhere.

Checked on appointment availability in my county, nothing until late April. I went in arriving a half hour before the office opened to be 10 deep in line. It took me three hours, one hour just to get inside the building. My son and I now both have the real ID
Got another kid, daughter turning 15 next week. Will be there getting her permit test and hopefully star/real ID upgrade at the same time. Kids already had official state ID for previous air travel scenarios.Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

To be clear, you can use your passport to fly domestic. You can also renew an ordinary license without all this, just no star card.

Not sure you’re right about renewing a regular license without it, the state sent me a renewal notice that said I needed all the stuff. Maybe it varies by state?

Just renewed my regular license in Mass and had to show either passport or birth certificate as "proof of lawful presence."

Ohhhhh. So THAT'S what the little yellow star on my new driver's license is. No wonder it was such a PITA to get mine. I thought it was nuts how many documents I had to provide. Apparently it's not just for air travel, but also for getting into Federal buildings too.
Also just realized my passport expired. Forgot to renew mine. Doh! Still 1000x easier to get a new passport than a new driver's license, though. Unless things have changed on that front too.

MASSACHUSETTS you can still get a regular one. They are encouraging everyone to upgrade now to avoid double fees if you wish to upgrade in 2020.

I just did this and got my 2nd RealID. The Teton county DL office had 1 person in front of me. 20 Minutes including chat time.
How hard is it to prove you're a citizen? Most states issue these as a matter of course now. And after you do it the first time, no more hoops until you change addresses.

my license has a star on it, does that mean I'm good? I don't recall jumping through those hoops, but...

They don't even ask for ID for a birth certificate at the health department. I think they asked my mothers maiden name and what city I was born in... it would be pretty easy to get someone else's birth certificate. Same with utility bills.

This is why voter ID laws suppress turnout. It's a total time, money, and energy suck to get a damn ID issued or renewed. Ain't nobody got time for that. My driver's license still has my address from 8 years ago because you have to have 2 qualifying documents to change it, and PO box doesn't count. Well, all my shit has my PO box address because I don't get mail at my house, much like the majority of people who live around here.
And my CO license has a star on it, too. Is that why it was such a pain in the ass?
