It’s a title, not a governmental distinction. We have state government, state stores, state troopers. Pennsylvania is 1 of 50 states in the United States, we are a state. Having said that we are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania…it’s our name.

You can argue we are a state by every reasonable metric and you would be correct, expect that we call ourselves something different. We have chosen to do that, and when referring to the state, it should be referred to as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

You might call a man who you think is named Tom, well let say Fred by mistake. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when they say “hey I’m Tom, not Fred,” if you keep calling them Fred, you’re the asshole.

You need the SSN card for REAL ID, full stop. I know because mine in packed away in a box in a storage locker somewhere, and I need it, but it’s my parent’s locker from their old house and it’s big and full of stuff.

What you can do is get a standard license and you can also renew your passport. But REAL ID is not an option until you have your SSN card in hand.
