or to a real ID? It looks like only 5 states have enhanced but most have real ID. Do you think airlines will start enforcing the real/enhanced ID to fly in 2023?

I did . It's just worth it. I am not in the mood of stepping into one of these places who will say "oh that ID is not valid" and get myself into problems.

Def get a real ID. Enhanced is just to cross the border by car- so only worth it if you do that

Can I get a real ID renewal by mail, or do I have to go in person?

You probably have to go in person to get REAL ID. There’s definitely value in having it.

The DMV website should have clear instructions. Google it.

When I went to renew my license, the line for renewal had about 5 people and going quickly, while the line for enhanced had about 25. I travel with a passport, so I got a regular.

I wanted to do the Real, because I don't want to have to pay to redo it in a year or two.
I didn't have the necessary paperwork on me for the upgrade so I just did a regular.

When mine was up for renewal, NYS had just started to allow illegal immigrants to get licenses and wait times were out of control, so I renewed online instead of going down in person to get the REAL ID.

In NY, you can make an appointment, and wait times are minimal. I'm going next week.
