Especially nowadays with the "real ID" laws.
I still dont have a real ID because I dont have the documents needed, and its taken months to get them. I have both forms of passport and global entry so its not a problem but still a good example of how challenging it is.
The day I was at AAA doing my ID there was 4 other people who walked in, met about an ID and walked out because they didn't have the documents.
The ID requirement is really difficult. Nobody has any of the required documents. In short, you need:What documents are needed?
One proof of who you are - passport (US or foreign with visa/green card), military ID card (which is a REAL ID by itself)
Two proofs of where you live - utility bill, bank statement, mail addressed to you, current driver's license with your address etc.
One proof of SSN - SSN card, 1099, W-2, pay stub
Paperwork burden statement - it would take the average forum member at least one minute to find all the required documentation.
