After WEEKS of trying to get a Real ID appointment at the DMV, and being offered only appointments at impossible times and improbable locations, today I was FINALLY offered a whole week’s worth of appointments at various times, including some appointments at the closest DMV. It was like finding the Holy Grail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or so I thought. When I looked a little closer, I realized that all of the appointments were for the week AFTER my birthday. WTF! Seriously, does the State not want me to get a Real ID, ever?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My next thought was, “You want to play that way, DMV? Fine. I’ll just get a regular renewal.” The DMV’s response was, “Ha-ha, no. This time you need a new picture, so you still have to come in, and you still can’t have an appointment before your birthday. Gotcha!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now it looks like my only option for renewing before expiration is through AAA. Am I a member? Good question. If my husband followed through with adding me when there was that “Add a Household Member For Free!” promotion, then I’m a member. If he didn’t, then UGH, I am going to be twice as irritated, because I am going to have to pay extra money to renew my license. The bright side: it looks like AAA does Real ID, so maybe I can get the upgrade while I’m at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
