It really didn't have to be that hard, Maryland! sheesh.
I still have my appointment to take in my three (3) documents to prooooooove who I am.
I have not had a SS card for 40 years. I used a W-2 instead.

Cant these verification documents easily, falsely, be obtained provided someone laid enough groundwork to have them?
I feel safer already.

Certified birth certificate or a US passport?...hard to fake those...
I have a US Passport and original SS # card and my taxes and Bank statment, I all so have my draft card from 1972

I was thinking the bills and W-2.
I would think though that I could grab anyone's birth certificate and say I was them, make up a W-2, and get a few bills somewhere and fairly easily could have a fake identity.

Pretty use I've read that a driver's license or passport is not required for airplane travel. Maybe at least for all those undocumented illegals?

Also, this REAL ID thing has to be racist. Come on now, how are those little old diminutive black women going to be able to find their required documentation for a "compliant" ID if they can't find it for a simple, verification of identification, card to vote? Just curious why this hasn't been challenged in court and taken up by the ACLU and the NAACP, Rainbow Push Coalition, Black Panthers, Louis Farrakhan, just to name a few, yet for this very reason. Inquiring minds.

I always travel on a passport because it doesn't have your address on it and reduces the chances that a bad actor can make note of your home address. They know you're traveling, obviously, and can send someone over to your house to rob it while you're gone.

I'm in the same spot. My last renewal was in Aug 2017. I was supposed to be good to go. Even brought my DD-214 so I could get the Veteran designation on my new license. Well, in Oct 2017, the feds changed the requirements. This is why people, despite having the "star" on their license, have to go back and present the documents. This is a federal requirement, not a Maryland requirement.

The documentation requirement was imposed, by the administration, in Oct 2017. This is why there were Real ID licenses issued prior to that for people who now have to come back with the required documents.
I agree with that...I thought it was odd that a W2 was considered sufficient. The birth certificate requirement is a tough one though.
I travel by air many times a year. You cannot get in to boarding area without ID and boarding pass.

Except you can — just as I posted above straight from the TSA.
I saw that. How many people do you know that have tried that route? Looks iffy and time consuming at best...

Yes, none of these documents, particularly those with your social security number, are on tamper or forgery proof material.
Seeing as how we had a clerk at MVA issue licenses to "undocumented" people, I really don't trust them to handle my PII.
But hey, I'll put together a how to steal my identity package and entrust it to some low paid clerk to scan in.
Makes sense to me. Should I throw in a credit card or two?
That's exactly what I was thinking as I sat there and watched the scanner suck up all my documents. The perfect "need an identity" kit.

I have seen the lines out the door lately at MVA's.
If you have an appt do you still have to wait in the line to check in by the door, or did you just grab a seat until they called your appointment?
