I don't yet have a RealID license, but when MO FINALLY passed the law to issue them, in March, I started to look to see what I needed. I had the same issue as you with only the last four digits being shown on every document I could locate, and I hadn't seen my SS card in 20-30 years.
So, I went down to the nearest SS office to get a replacement card. I used my passport and my (non-RealID) driver's license for ID, had a new card in a week. Now I can use my passport, new SS card, along with 2 proofs of residency, to get a new RealID license (see a little circular logic here?)

yep, my passport is due for renewal next year, driver's license not until several years later.
so I'll just pay for the passport card as well & use that until I have to renew my DL.

My DL had to be renewed earlier this summer. Here, you can do all DL stuff at AAA. I joined for that reason. I have towing from my car insurance. But the DMV here is sheer hell. I need to renew my passport very soon. I got the photos taken at AAA. Anyhow, I have a real ID driver’s license. It wasn’t hard.

I have to renew next year and thought I had to get a Real ID. I would prefer to get one but I am not sure about the needed documents. I tried to get a SS card but can’t get one online or by phone. Some problem about too old for the data base - I lost my card 50 years ago and haven’t needed one since.

Do you have any official document that shows your full SS #, like a tax document or an SS document? Check your state DMV website to see which documents they will accept as proof of SS #.

I just got my Real ID last week, thanks to an expiring DL. Used passport, work 1099 with full SSN displayed, a bank statement, and a utility statement. No issues.

Makes me wonder what you did for work before your retirement.

Some states require a Class B CDL to operate a large (Class A) RV.

Motorhome exceeds 26,000 pounds. Nothing to do with work.
Although I suppose I could legally drive a large fire truck if it were ever necessary.

Although here it’s a “non-commercial” class B DL.

Is a passport card acceptable as ID for flying in the USA? I would think it would be.

Ohio's BMV website has an excellent interactive checklist that shows all acceptable documents and which of the 6 requirements they cover.
https://services.dps.ohio.gov/BMVOnl...tableDocuments
Our passports cover 3 of the 6 requirements. We recently renewed them through the mail, sending in photos we took with our cell phone.

We got a real ID so we didn't have to take our passport everywhere. Otherwise I would have picked up one of those passport cards instead of REAL ID. But those cost money, and the REAL ID was free, just my time getting the docs together.

Your drivers licenses are free? Ours cost $48.

Some states, Missouri is one, will let you make a one time upgrade to RealID. No fee except the local agent's fee of $3-5.
Regular renewal, of course, costs more.

Sorry, I communicated poorly and wrongly. The DL was budgeted already. I meant the passport card would have been on top of already having to get a drivers license. Extra money for that.
