I always bring my passport for new jobs, where they need to both confirm your identity and whether you're a citizen. Standard procedures require 2 IDs for this, but only 1 if it's a passport. Mark

The Real ID >Card is. Unless you are in one of the states that has decided not to participate. Which leads to an interesting situation. You live in, for instance, New Hampshire and are called to federal jury duty. Well, without the Real ID certified DL you can't get into the building. Now what? I actually like that scenario. When they bust you for not appearing, ask for a jury trial. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog. What a dog!
