I went the other day to send an envelope FED EX and the clerk requested my driver's license (which has never happened).   When she checked it and saw the address was different than the return address on my envelope she asked if i had any other items with that return address on it to prove it's legit.  Well, i didn't as I only use it for occasional deliveries.  Plus the address on my license is old anyway.  I'm not sure if ALL Fed ex locations are doing this but she did say it was a policy change that went into effect this month.  So if you are using a PO box or other return address other than your primary/residential that is on your ID card or D.L. you may consider usps or ups for shipping (especially expedited like one or two day).   

 
.........To update, I heard from a buddy that his Fed Ex location that didn't check for D.L. since my beginning post.  So it may not be all locations, but he also pointed out with that Fed Ex package bomb a while back may be the reason they are now verifying return addresses to be safe.  But, i still don't like the idea of giving my ID for shipping in any circumstance.   Also, he mentioned that he's running into UPS now wanting to check packages to verify nothing dangerous (or WHATEVER) is contained in the box.  So times are changing.....

Check packages? As in opening them?? If so that may very well be the last nail in the coffin.

Brown has already placed a temp policy in place as such.

  7. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  8. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  11. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  13. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.

  15. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  18. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
