My driver license has my street address on it, but it was sent to me via general delivery. Of course that was a few years ago.

It has changed !

Obie - would you please point to that specific piece of information rather than having everyone search around for it on that site? Thanks.

You can't use your drivers license for ID at the airport unless it is delivered to your street address.

TSA isn't checking the address on your driver's license. (For that matter, a passport is acceptable; these have no address printed on them.)

REAL ID requires that the address on your license/ID card be "true and correct". If there is no mail delivery, a delivery address within some distance of your physical address (500 feet? don't have the regulations in front of me) is acceptable.

I hadn't thought about using the Federal REAL ID requirements as a bludgeon against USPS and/or private subdivisions, but it could be an interesting approach.

Present two (2) documents for Proof of Residence Address ((If your post office box is your mailing address, you must also bring in a document with your physical address listed)

So they require you to bring in a power bill or something like that and it has to have your name on it. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work for kids getting a license for the first time. I guess you have to put their name on one (or 2) of the bills.

They make it up as they go along.

When I recently renewed my drivers license I checked the website for document requirements, AND called the Pahoa station. I thought this would save time and avoid confusion. In Pahoa? What was I thinking? When I arrived with everything necessary, the counter person claimed I needed something not on the list. There was no supervisor to appeal to reason and their website.

I gathered up a few more proofs of existence, drove to Hilo and the clerk picked out the ones she liked best.

The sign of a genius is that he talks louder after he finishes talking.

Happened to me, too -- apparently your old license/ID card aren't acceptable.

It's almost worth having a passport just to make it easier to get a driver's license.

Yes, just in case you starting planning the deception with your previous drivers license renewal, 8 years, 10 years ago? Like when Obama's family put his birth announcement in the Honolulu paper (even though he was in Kenya at the time) just so he could run for president 50 years later. It pays to plan ahead.

Any renewal prior to Hawaii's initial REAL ID compliance.

Current licenses are technically REAL ID, but they don't have the "star in circle" that indicates compliance, and of course that's somehow your fault, so you have to pay for an early renewal if you want to board a plane (and don't have better ID).

Typical Hawaii "gotta reinvent the wheel ourselves", and particularly offensive when you need to board a plane to travel within the State.

Just got word that the Membership Mailbox Committee encountered the expected obstruction from the office employees this afternoon when the committee members went in to collect the library key for their first meeting. Leilani the "Conflict of Interest Queen" told the committee that they couldn't have the key.
At this point Donna another employee, tells the small group that the "board has not yet approved the Membership Committee". Meaning, "Sorry Charlie, we got you with that lie".
One member told Leilani that she had reserved the key... to no avail. Then the member said alright I'll rent the library how much is it? To which Leilani replied $10 plus $250 for the security fee.
From a first hand report, "There was then silence after hearing that". So imagine in your head, the sound of a car's screeching tires coming to an emergency stop, that's probably what it must have been like to hear such an idiotic statement from the Office Queen.

The member after collecting her composure then told the Office Queen "okay give me the library key because I'm going to go look for a book".
Ah! Touche'. The Office Queen then succumbs to the superior retort and signs out the library key.

Yes HPP Association, this is why we voted overwhelmingly for all of the motions on Feb, 25th. We have to clean house, these are the people running the administration of the Association and the ones holding the corporate powers in a fist of iron, or was it a fistful of dollars?
