Worst case, you could claim you lost your license and they'll issue a new one with the same dates. I doubt you'd have to do that, though. If this is true, I'm sure a lot of people will come in to exchange their licenses for the new one. <div><br></div><div>I got the Passport Card last time I renewed my regular passport. It was an extra $10. For some reason, it's only valid for boat or land crossing to Canada, not air?! Why not? My wife's Canadian, so we fly there regularly to visit family. Still, I'm glad I spent the extra ten bucks now. It did come with a protective metallic sleeve which I suspect blocks the RFID.</div><div><br></div><div>Scott<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"JD" <jdp@algoloma.com><br><b>To: </b>ale@ale.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, June 21, 2013 10:26:52 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [ale] [OT] Real-ID?<br><br>On 06/20/2013 08:42 PM, JD wrote:<br>> Though GA specifically created a law preventing we follow the fed standard.
