You have citizenship info on your driver's license?

Of being vaccinated? Obvious.

Of having the vaccine card? Speaking for myself, it let me travel overseas to attend a funeral in Denmark, it has eased conditions when I go into the office, it has made it possible for me to rejoin my tall ship crew and it has eased my application for sailing club membership I've been wanting.

I've had a pretty good ROI, thanks for asking.

Yes, Real ID Act forced states to check citizenship to issue you a license and get a photo for face recognition.

Here's a kicker joke though....

I had that star on my Texas license and moved to SC.
When I went to get my SC license I figured the star would just transfer...FedGov law and all.

Nope...SC treated me as if I was not a citizen and had to bring all that paperwork to the DMV yet again.
I asked why and was told that driver licenses are state based and what other states have don't count.

Could our local, state and fed governments be any more screwed up then this ????

Hm. I'm pretty sure my CA RealID doesn't have that, with me not being a citizen and all. I'll have to look. Could vary from state to state.
