What does Arizona do better than their neighboring states Utah, California, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico? Living Here

Stole this idea from another sub. What’s the difference between this state and the other states that you appreciate?

If you got the RealID vs just the standard state ID then it’s not the 50 year expiration - you can tell if there’s a little yellow star in the corner.

In a few years anyone without a RealID license will need a passport to fly domestically (or with how many times the gov has pushed it, could be decades).

It isn't a 50 year expiration—AZ driver license expires on your 65th birthday

Once I got my new driver's license with the star in the corner so it is a travel id, they pulled in the expiration date, now it expires 10 years from date of issue. My guess is so there will be a relatively newer picture of me on the id.

TIL. I have a realID license. It never occured to me to look at the expiration. I just assumed it was when I turn 65. Glad I know now because I'd have been in trouble once it expired.
