Montana Real ID Deadline: What You Need To Know
Montana, We've Put Getting A Real ID Off For Nearly 20 Years
Ah, Montana. The open air, the big sky and around a million or so people who will never be comfortable being told what to do. No matter what.
I'll be completely honest with you, I do not, as of writing, have a Real ID. I mean come on, dude, what a hassle. Now I have to go do adulty things like get my birth certificate AGAIN, because I just can't seem to be responsible with things like that. Go down to the DMV, and wait and then have a picture taken, then wait to get my new old lady looking ID, all so it's harder to steal my identity. What a nightmare.
Wait, what?
The Advantages Of A Montana Real ID
Carrying A Montana Real ID has some advantages:
- It's harder to fake a Real ID, keeping your identity safer
- It can be used to enter federal buildings and areas like federal courthouses and military bases
