I have a Real ID. I have two ID cards: my Real ID and a “not for Real ID purposes” state ID card, Why do I have both? Because once you reach 65 in Oklahoma, driver license renewals are free! While I was getting my first free DL, the lady at the tag agency (we mainly renew our driver’s licenses and car registrations at privately-owned tag agencies in Oklahoma) asked me if I wanted a state ID. I asked why. She said, “In case you need two forms of photo ID.”
Me: “And is it the same price as my driver’s license?”
Tag agent: “Yes, it it.”
Me: “Sure. Why not?”
As for how easy was it to get a Real ID? I had to bring my birth certificate and proof of residency, for which my voter ID card was sufficient. I had to wait until the new DL and ID cards were mailed to me but they gave me a printed temporary copy of both cards.
