So starting next year you have to have a federal ID to fly. You can now get a new DL which also serves as a federal ID. It doesn't take the place of a passport for international travel but it will certainly get you on a domestic plane.
My wife went to the DMV today to get her new DL/Fed ID. She took two forms of ID, two pieces of mail confirming the address, her newer SS card with her married name, and her birth certificate. This is everything the DMV says you have to have.
She gets turned away at the DMV because she didn't have a marriage license showing we got married and her name change on her SS Card was valid. I can understand if we were newly weds maybe...but going on 11 years and she's got a DL since we've been married and the DMV already had all of her information switched in their system. Goodness the hassle.
Just letting yall know. If your wife is going to the DMV to get her new DL/Fed ID, tell her to take her marriage license. Hell, I couldn't begin to tell you where ours is.
