nihsif: my wife had to renew early this year & I in May so I thought I would give a heads up when I ran across this site. I didn't intend to include every item. In WI, when you receive your renewal notice for your dr lic, you will receive a sheet with all the info. I had to read it & then reread it several times to fully understand the requirements to get the Real ID. Course that's just me. If your due for a renewal this year and choose to get a standard renewal you will have to go back to the DVM another time, at no charge, to get what will be the Real ID. Where I went in Greendale that could mean another 2-3 hours of trying to stay awake waiting for your no. to be called. So my wife & I both got the Real ID. It's done.
thanks fishie and lota lota... I looked for some more info
this is the result of the Federal government passing an act

EDIT: it is important to note that they are saying this is NOT mandatory to get this Real ID card...just yet anyways
also...here's all forms of acceptable identification:

If anyone else has to renew their drivers lic this year, be prepared to get your Real ID drivers lic which if not renewed this year will have to be renewed in the near future. This takes more ID such as a birth cert or a valid passport along with a valid social security card. The cost is the same whether you get a reg lic renewal or you get the Real ID. You will in time need to verify you are who you say you are and that you are living where you say you are. Your new Real Id drivers lic is a tad different.
