Speaking of real id, found out that the new retired military ID is real id compliant.
It's hideous looking too.

Even after getting the Real ID? Surely you don't have to produce the documentation every time it renews?
Clay is correct, per the online renewal page I linked on the previous page. You can’t do the initial RealID online, but you can renew it online.
Most, if not all, Federal IDs have been RealID compliant for a few years. I interviewed for a position at the bankruptcy court in OKC a few years back, and being able to use the ID to get on a plane was one of the things we discussed.
Oklahoma kept getting an extension for whatever reason, but the final deadline is coming up pretty quick if I remember correctly. My wife has been fighting getting one from a previous divorce a zillion years ago, but it's getting time to get the paperwork in order to proceed.
Women in divorces have a major issue because of name changes. They have to produce a ton of documentation from what we have researched.
I think I read the deadline was May of 2025
Yeah, the online thing sounds easy, until you never get your sticker. It's hard to remember that you didn't get it. Then you have to go to the tag agent with downloaded docs and fill out an affidavit, and they think your lying, wait several days, then go back, more paperwork, now you have 4 hours into it, yada. The crappy part is the whole time you're thinking about your rural mail carrier, the one that looks like she just had a head on with a semi while she was blowing a pipe full of meth. Then you start remembering other pieces of mail that never showed up, bank stuff, credit card stuff, etc. Yeah, I know it's rare, but I promise you the mailman knows what is in an envelope at a glance, and a tag sticker might be worth 10 or 20 bucks at the meth head emporium, multiply that by several a day. And don't even think about complaining, been there done that, the only piece of mail you get after that is from Beltone, you always get that.
Well, shoot! Let me see if I can explain.
Got notice from okcars. Time for renewal online.
Go online - have 3 check block options. 1 - keep current metal tag and get a new sticker to go on it. 2 - Get a new metal replacement tag just like the one you have now with new sticker. 3 - Get a new metal replacement tag all new, red and shiny.
I picked red and shiny and sent them my money. 3 days later, I received in the mail, from my local tag agency, a brand new metal tag just like the one I’ve got now.
Now, with regard to your question, “a lot easier” would be what I expected.
It ain’t over yet!
It’s so easy to forget. You’re dealing with three monoliths here. There’s the State! There’s OkCars.com! And, there’s “Mr Local Tag Agency “! Your only possibility of winning is to be right (easy) and monolithic yourself (not so easy).
I've got confidence in you. Most everyone here should be able to accomplish this with minimum effort. I've done it, so anyone should be able to.
