Awhile ago I was just going to give in and get one, but they make you go to some 3rd party, private company website to put in all your information. That's honestly the sticking point for me. I absolutely do not trust that entity yo secure my data, and I guarantee it's only a matter of time before they get hacked. Fortunately I have a passport.

My state has had real IDs for over ten years now. I’m not sure why others have such weird ways to get them, I didn’t have to put my info into any third party database

Last I tried was in CA. Maybe it's different here in VA where I recently moved. Haven't checked yet.

Yeah each state has their own Real ID so CA may not be the same as VA.

For example showing the difference between symbols, as it is basically up to the state lol: https://www.keesingtechnologies.com/document-verification/real-id/
