#3 I just renewed mine. Got a passport card too. If I need it at all in the next 10 years, it will be for a very good (read lucrative) reason.

Shop talk yesterday among an extremely unusual personalities. My opinion collusion with China and big tech here. Chrome patches and they are in again as if they know how to get in. I keep suspecting Google myself. No known answer to this at this time. Our leadership in DC are so far behind the times.

#5 I downloaded the PDF of the renewal form, sent it in with the picture and check and I was done. Bad java code didn't stop me. This was back in the spring of 2021.

#10 ^ Your DL renewal had RealID requirements? Lots of choices besides passport to meet that.
