3.  DMV NEWS – GET A REAL ID NOW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With cooler weather, falling leaves and anticipation building for Thanksgiving, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a REAL ID before the May 7, 2025, federal enforcement deadline arrives. This is when a REAL ID or another federally approved document will be required to fly within the U.S. or enter secure federal facilities. By applying for your REAL ID now, you can help avoid heartburn at the airport should you fly to see loved ones in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To apply for a REAL ID, Californians should visit REALID.dmv.ca.gov<\/a>, fill out the online application and upload their documents. Customers must visit a DMV office and bring their uploaded documents to complete the application. By starting the process online, it should take only about 15 minutes in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.  CONVERSATIONS WITH VETERANS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
