October 1, 2020 you will need an official Real ID star they call it on your drivers license, a U.S. passport or military ID to fly within the U.S. Our driver's licenses don't come up for renewal for years here and they won't be recognized as "official" unless they have that star on them! The wife tried to get a new drivers licence with the official star and the hoops they make you jump through is amazing and she didn't bring the right stuff to the DMV and couldn't get the star. dhs.gov tells you what you need to bring to the DMV if you want to get a new licence which will cost you. The DMV guy asked the wife if her married name was on her birth certificate? Say what? She may have snarked the guy for asking a stupid question hence no star for her. Anyway just a heads up it will cost you to have an up to date passport or a new driver licence if you expect to be able to fly anywhere late this next year. FYI.

It's probably easier. I was surprised just how easy it was.

In fact I just received my new passport, so I'm good to go for another 10 years...

I have star on license, also I have a passport. Don’t have a passport, but do have that gold star on my license. Showed up when last renewed. Got it due to requirements for my CCW.

My drivers license was up for renewal this year. Went online to DMV to see what the Real ID was all about. Application online and what acceptable docs to bring to RMV. Checked off the docs I would bring, submitted the pre. lic. app. Went to DMV with papers. In and out in 45 minutes with Real ID license.
If you don't need it, you don't need it. If you travel, fly, you may want it.

Virginia was very clear about what to bring. My DL expired so I got the new Real ID version. Pretty painless.

I updated mine a couple of months ago. In five minutes I was issued a temporary one and a week or so later received my permanent one.

They punched my old license and let me keep it, along with a letter. I had a bunch of forms of i.d. I got from the DMV web site; they asked me "Why did you bring all that stuff?" Go figure, eh?

I renewed earlier this week a month early as I figured it would take a couple tries. My birth certificate and DD214 made them happy. I went for the enhanced license with the rfid chip which will make visiting Canada and returning to the usa easier.
The interesting thing is my birth certificate has my adoptive fathers name on it. Mom remarried, the bio dad gave up custody, and the new dad adopted me.
I went the first 4 or so years of my life with a different name. They must change a lot of paperwork for a legal adoption.
