There are lots of reasons not to trust government but getting an ID is not hard.

Only a racist would suggest it's easy to get ID! 🤣
getting a driver's license in North Carolina is a huge pain in the ass! But that is just because the DMV is the most inefficient establishment in existence on the planet and is a case study about how the government will do anything in the worst way possible.
My local DMV (in Florida) isn't too bad provided you make an appointment. The process for getting a state ID is pretty much the same as getting a driver's license without the testing requirements of course.
I wonder if my state just has a seriously bad version of the licensing procedure. When I talk to people in other states it certainly seems like we do!
DMVs have a horrible reputation in general though. As luck would have it, I have an appointment to renew my driver's license this afternoon and also become RealID compliant. We'll see how that goes.
I know that when I go I know I am in for an all-day affair. The people behind the counter, I wonder what sort of arduous process they have to go through to get the job done because it just seems like a snail-pace process for an ID.
My experience getting my DL renewed (and updated to Real ID compliance) wasn't terrible. Here, you basically have to make an appointment online and when I made mine the soonest available was 2 weeks out. I arrived at my appointment time and it was a total of 50 minutes from the time I walked in until the time I walked out with my new DL. That included them having issues with their signature machine and having to ultimately switch to a new window.
If you want to do anything walk-in it would be more difficult. You basically have to arrive when they open first thing in the morning and then wait and hope they have an opening.
this made me laugh. good one!
