What is the REAL, ID?

YOUR NEW REQUIRED

2020 IDENTIFICATION

 

Do you have your REAL ID? Did you know it is required to have the “REAL ID” and is a law that was passed by Congress in 2005. Here is some information I found on the Homeland Security website, https://www.dhs.gov/real-id

What is REAL ID?

“Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.” The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards.  These purposes are:

  • Accessing Federal facilities
  • Boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft
  • Entering nuclear power plants”

When will REAL ID be enforced?

“The final enforcement deadline is October 1, 2020.  By this date, not only must all states be issuing Real ID-compliant licenses or IDs, but individuals must also have visited their state’s driver’s licensing agency and obtained a REAL ID compliant card, or acceptable alternative such as a U.S. passport, if they wish to fly on commercial aircrafts or access federal facilities.”

What happens on October 1, 2020?

“Federal agencies, including DHS and TSA, may only accept state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards as identification for purposes of accessing federal facilities – including TSA airport security checkpoints – if the license or card was issued by a REAL ID compliant state in accordance with the REAL ID security standards (meaning the license or card must include the REAL ID compliant star marking).  Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDL) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont are considered acceptable alternatives to REAL ID-compliant cards and will also be accepted for official REAL ID purposes.  Most EDLs do not contain the star marking and this is acceptable.”

Here is a clip of the Reminder announcement.

Make sure to do your research on this topic my visiting the Homeland Security website for more information on the REAL ID.

    Thanks for the info. I don’t know how the government thinks this is going to increase safety.
    People can falsify information, plus there are home grown terrorist (like Timothy McVey, the KKK ) and just crazy people.
    Soon they’ll want us to all get microchipped.
    I wonder what this is gonna cost me and everyone else.
