No REAL ID? That'll be $18.

I got mine changed the first time they were beating the drup that you had to do it by X date. I had recently renewed my license too, but wanted to be sure. I already had a passport and Global Entry cart oo - both of which were real IDs, but I don't want to carry them for domestic travel. Anyway, I got it done, and then they extended the date - again, and again, and again. It was easy here, but I know some states make it more difficult. We have had several sessions where the people come to our office and set up tables - you can sign up for an appointment and do it there, which is nice. I guess we're a little ahead of the curve here in Tennessee - so that'd be ONE thing.

Prepare to shell out $18 if you don't have REAL ID compliant IDs... the TSA is proposing potential extra fees. Don't get comfortable after paying up... you'll only be able to use the TSA checkpoints 10 days after you pay up. This will have huge implications to guests whose Disney visits are 10 days and longer.

Do they issue real ID's for non-drivers, then?

I upgraded my license last time I renewed it, so this doesn't affect me directly, but I am curious. - There are plenty of people who don't drive, but do travel (people with certain vision issues, for instance, or who live in big cities and simply don't need a car). How does it work for them?

Yes. My son has had a state issued ID (not a real ID but same rules) sine he was nine years old. DD has had a real ID for a few years even though she is not driving yet. A real ID can be a non drivers ID
