Real ID/Drivers License being a proof of address is laughable. In my state (NY) they accept the following as proof of address for getting a new Real ID:
- Bank statement
- Pay stub
- Utility bill
- Any other state ID with the same last name, which I can claim is my parent or spouse.
I can change my mailing address on any of them with a few clicks online, no actual verification needed.
What they do NOT accept as proof of address:
- My passport
How does that make any sense?
- hackyhacky 9mo ago> What they do NOT accept as proof of address: > - My passport > How does that make any sense? It makes sense because, if you look closely, you will see that your passport does not indicate your address.
- monksy 9mo agoDoesn't matter, Passport is considered to be a real id.
- what 9mo ago> I can change my mailing address on any of them with a few clicks online, no actual verification needed. Yes, but you’d have to be able to retrieve mail from that address?
- kmoser 9mo agoWhy, when you can access your bill online and print it?
- monksy 9mo ago> - Bank statement > - Pay stub > - Utility bill It should be noted, and I don't understand why people aren't angry about this: Account numbers unredacted on the statements. The numbers are redacted the documentation gets rejected.
