so if I understand correctly, you had been using a different name or spelling than what it says on your birth certificate. that's the problem.
a realid is not needed yet, it has been posponed to 2023.
I got my driver's license in 1982. other than updating my picture every few years or adding my ssn, I haven't been to the dmv in years. for sure make an appointment next time, it's faster.
like all Jamaican/Canadians, I have two last names but I only go by one. took care of that in the 80s, so I haven't had any problems. also bought ammo a few months ago with no problems.
