ATF Bulletin/ CA not complying with "real ID" requirements

[Tyke8319]

A Sacramento Bee article says ATF has issued an advisory that CA DMV has not complied with the Federal requirements for Real ID. They advised that DMV was to have required "2" documents that "proved" residency, i.e. PG&E bill and (say) a phone bill rather than one. They are letting it slide till April 2019 at which time CA residents will have to provide the two documents.
Ya gotta love this state...

DHS not ATF. There is not a new ATF Bulletin I am aware of.

Yep this is just another example of the idiotic state we live in. They cant even do this right. Now, I'm curious about everyone who got the so called Real ID will they have to pay again to get the new Real ID and submit new documents since DMV couldn't get it right the first time. I would imagine so since DMV will say that the driver license is still valid.

The article said that those that have the real ID are good till they renew in 5 years. Then 2 forms of proof of residency are to be submitted.

Gotcha thanks tyke. I didn’t read the article I had read one three days ago and was going off what that one said.

I really hope this will be able to be done online. I really don't want to have to go in again. I'll find out in 2019. My realid expires then.

In Idaho I had to provide two utility bills, a passport (or birth certificate), and my social security card. They would not accept the social security card since it was laminated (from 30+ years ago at least). I had to return with a W2 form which includes my SSN. The reason for not accepting the laminate is that lamination makes it difficult to detect forgeries and there are a lot of those. Got to love a law abiding state.

Good point. I've not heard of that being an issue with CA DMV. But give it time.

Is DMV going to refer to the 2nd version as the Real Real ID and make us apply again for the renewal, lol.

I think DMV will come up with a "TURNERS" type policy and require "4" utility bills as proof of residency, BUT they must all have the same date on them.

I hope free America keeps the door open long enough for me to get the hell out of here !!!!!!

I'll leave the door to Idaho open, but, then, I've only been here two months so my vote doesn't count much. Seriously, housing prices are rising dramatically, but on the + side the unemployment rate in the Treasure Valley is very low.

Which is ridiculous since one of the forms of proof is a valid vehicle registration. You're the F'ing DMV, you already have my proof of valid registration.
