This one irritates me. I had my little star on my license in South Dakota 10 years or so ago. All was great. And then we moved to Tennessee. No stars in TN so we lost it. Now we have to go get it again. UUGGHH!!!!
Fortunately, I don't think it'll be that difficult. Our drivers licenses are up for renewal this year anyway so it'll probably be all happening a few months before we'd be renewing them anyway. And our local county courthouse should be able to do it all right there, which is nice. (Our county has less people than many small towns so we all kinda know each other. And it helps to know people. )

Mine renews next year, let's see what I get.
Doesn’t mean anything. That kid that murdered the healthcare executive had a fake one from NJ that had the star.
I have tried for 15 years to get a real I.D.
One of the problems is they want a new issued Birth Certificate. And a new Social Security Card. Now I have been drawing S.S. for (16) SIXTEEN years. I find it strange they can't figure out they have been paying me for 16+ years. As to the new Birth Certificate, the issuing government department in Indianapolis, Indiana keeps saying they are over a year behind issuing replacement Birth Certificates.
I have often wondered what they do with people born in a cabin or tent.

Another giggle, is the State of Alaska has been issuing me Drivers Licenses (and a dozen other licenses) for (56) FIFTY-SIX years. Now suddenly they are confused about my identity.
@Sourdough , I had a 96 year old friend many years back who had a Texas DL since she was 25 years old! She renewed every time it was due to be renewed until she quit driving at 95! She went to get a Texas ID card instead of a DL. They wanted a birth certificate. I believe she was born in 1908, they didn't do birth certificates back then, birth records were written in the family bible! They would NOT give her an ID card even though she had a DL all those years!! That is just plain ol' STUPID!!

I don't know. I do know each state is different with what they want you to bring in for a real ID. I had one in New Mexico, came to Kansas, and had to get another and they want you to start from scratch. Kansas required a certified marriage certificate, which I didn't have, and had to request before I could get one. Their reasoning was that they wanted proof how my maiden name on my birth certificate turned into my current name. They did give my mom an ID card, though. She had one from California that was expired. All I had was her medicare card and a hand written birth certificate from 1932 when she was born in the farmhouse down the road. Our son is having a bit of a fit about the real ID. He comes here from New Mexico often, but takes the train, and the train doesn't ask anybody for anything. No ID, no bag searching, none of that. If he flies here next year, he'll need one. I bet he'll still either take the train or just drive.
I have a Real ID drivers license in my state of Colorado. I've had it for many years. I can't even remember when I got it.
Nor do I remember any difficult requirements to get it. I do not recall having to provide a birth certificate, a marriage license, or anything like that. Somewhere in the back of my brain there is an inkling of a memory that I might have just showed them my passport. But I can't say if that is a real memory or something I am just imagining. I am the type of person who does not like to be forced through a bunch of rigmarole, and the fact that I can't remember any rigmarole indicates to me that there must not have been any rigmarole. It's been a long time ago and I just don't remember what the process was.

I got mine fixed a few months ago...
When I moved from Alabama to Louisiana years ago, I never noticed that my star fell off my DL.
Fixed it!

Did you know you can just order one online?
Yeah, the last time I got a job and needed my Social Security card was in 1979. And up until recently, I had not seen hide nor hair of that card since then. No telling where it had hidden itself. So recently I went to the Social Security website and ordered a new one. Figuring that when I start drawing Social Security I might actually need the thing. I can't remember if there was a fee for the replacement card or not. There probably was. But I have a new one now that is considered "an original", so I'm good. I did this replacement what? - maybe two or three years ago? Something like that. Fairly recently.
I tried that for the Birth Cert. They would not take the order because they were already over a year behind.

Speaking of birth certificates, I was recently helping someone get their passport and they want your RAISED LETTER SEAL certificate. Some States don't do that anymore. Was very hard to get the people doing the passport application to understand that all States don't do that anymore.
The degree of silliness of "REAL I.D." is having millions of illegal immigrants about which we know zero. There are also some who are known terrorists.
