Q: Hi Honk: I have some questions about the senior citizen Real ID card. Can it be done online or do you have to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles? Can it be done at the Auto Club? What documents do you need to get the card? How much does the senior ID card cost?

–Roger Jenison, Downey

A: Four questions, Roger? You are going to get your money’s worth here in Honkland.

Doesn’t everybody?

To get a Real ID for the first time, you must go into a DMV office with the required documents, although you can start the process online, and you will likely have to head in if moving the Real ID from your license to a state-issued ID card.

No, the Auto Club of Southern California does not handle driver’s licensing chores.

The documents required to get a Real ID, at least here in the Golden State: proof of identity, say a passport or a birth certificate; two items showing where you live, a bank statement and a utility bill will work; and oftentimes proof of your Social Security Number. Deeper answers can be found at dmv.ca.gov.

And for those with at least 62 years of tread on their bodies, that senior citizen ID, with or without the powers of Real ID, is free (a driver’s license is not, no matter the holder’s age).

They are valid for seven-plus years.

Q: Not sure if this has been reported before, but I got a text on April 16 supposedly from FasTrak saying I had an unpaid invoice for toll-road usage. Looks like a Bay Area website, but when I looked it up online and then called a real 800 number it turns out to be a ruse looking for people to pay when the real website says they never send texts!  Need to make people aware of this.

– Tom Dawkins, Anaheim

A: Done.

Honk has received them — the first one you get is unsettling, because you lean toward believing it.

(Some toll agencies may send text messages; the FasTrak system is used by many of them.)

If concerned, log into your account to check, or do what Tom did — find a real number online for the agency and give it a jingle.

HONKIN’ UPDATE: A couple of weeks ago Jeanne Glass of Long Beach asked what happens to her Disabled Person License Plates if she sells her car. After checking with the DMV, Honk told her they stay with her, unlike standard plates that go with the car. Honk asked the DMV for more info, and here it is: The new owner of the car needs to wait until the vehicle has plates before driving it, said Katarina Snow, a DMV spokesperson, adding that going to a DMV office might speed up the process. It doesn’t cost anything for the holder of the disabled-person plates to transfer them.

HONKIN’ FACT: The bike our hero is on when he hits a curb and rolls onto a lawn in front of children and says, “I meant to do that” is on the auction block. Van Eaton Galleries is handling the bidding that includes one of 14 bikes used in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” by Paul Reubens portraying the wonderful Pee-wee Herman in the 1985 film. The auction house forecasts a bid of $30,000 to double that for the bike during its May 3-4 event.
