WENTZVILLE, Mo. — More than 1.6 million Missourians have already signed up to get a REAL ID, but a local woman reached out to 5 On Your Side with concerns that women of a certain age are being unfairly denied. With the May 3 deadline drawing closer by the day, 74-year-old Joyce Fletcher said she wants to get a REAL ID for one reason. 'I didn't want to be excluded from government buildings and from flying everywhere,' Fletcher said. So, she took her birth certificate, marriage license, driver's license, social security card and even her taxes to the Wentzville License Office to get one.
