>An EDL is not required to fly domestically, which is good because only 5 states offer the option. An EDL includes the Real ID benefits which includes domestic travel, but also acts as a passport when traveling by land or sea with Canada/Mexico/some Caribbean nations.
Yep. Which is why I said:
...I wanted to trade in my license for an "Enhanced
Driver's License"[0] (EDL) which, *among other things*,
will be required for domestic air travel[1] in a year or
so.
Upon reflection, I can see how that kind of puts the cart before the horse, but it isn't really incorrect as an EDL incorporates the RealID.
I suppose I could have clarified that the EDL provides RealID and additional functionality as you describe, but I figured that "among other things" and links describing both RealID and EDL, folks could find out for themselves what "among other things" meant.
Perhaps that overestimates the reading comprehension of some folks, but I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt and not assume they're morons.
Perhaps that's a mistake, but if so, it isn't my first and won't be my last.
I thank you for clarifying and I'm sure the morons out there will thank you for your pedantry as well.
I'd further point out that this was just a real-life example of a service which must be provided in person and not online and my experience with scheduling an appointment. It could just as easily have been any of several different services which require actually going to the DMV, but that's the one that is relevant to my life at the moment.
As such, even if I'd claimed that an EDL gets me free blowjobs at Federal buildings, I still made the point I was attempting to make.
