Hawaii has been providing real ID driver licenses for over two years.
Licenses are good for 8 years, and Hawaii was issuing "meets-REAL-documentation-requirement-but-has-no-star" licenses for a while (I have one of these). Really irresponsible considering the whole "need the star to leave the island" thing.
you are surprised by the reaction?
Considering that passport card is an official "valid form of ID" per corporate policy ... a little. But 7-11 insists on ID for all age-restricted purposes, and that was the only thing I had on me...
There was also the time that Hilo TSA wasn't sure about the passport card being valid for domestic travel. I really expected them to know their own regulations. (Ironically, they don't even bat an eye when I present my TWIC.)
