after I received the email telling me how many weeks I had to renew.

When I got the new license, it had the gold star on it. Recently it was time to renew, so I got the email from the DMV, filled out the form, paid online and sent it in. Received in the mail another Real ID. I do not know how I got so lucky as to have that happen twice.

Mr YD however had to make an appointment and go in person. We already had birth certificates so he didn't have any problems.
