States to have additional time to meet requirements:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)<\/strong> announced its intent to extend the REAL ID full enforcement date by 24 months, from May 3, 2023 to May 7, 2025<\/strong><\/em>. Under the new regulations published to execute this change, states will now have additional time to ensure their residents have driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards that meet the security standards established by the REAL ID Act. As required by the law, following the enforcement deadline, federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), will be prohibited from accepting driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards that do not meet these federal standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
