12. I bought a new to me car

in September, 2018. No problem at all getting it registered here.

But yes, this state has been nearly impossible when it comes to getting the real ID drivers licenses.

What I'm personally incensed about is they want my SS#, even for a regular license now. My SS card states very clearly that it is not to be used for ID purposes. I'm thinking that when I go to renew my DL, I'll photocopy that, with all but the last 4 numbers blacked out, and see if they'll accept that. They will probably refuse, and I'm not entirely sure what I'll do next.

I always have a passport, so I'm happy with a non-real ID license, but giving them my SS#?
