27 февраля 2020
You may want to book your appointment at the DMV soon. Starting October 1, most American travelers must have a “REAL ID-compliant” driver’s license, passport, military ID or other acceptable identification to fly within the country. However, some 2/3 of Americans who have state-issued cards are not yet compliant with the post-9/11 security measure — CNN.
The head of the US Department of Homeland Security allows the state agencies to accept identity documents electronically. DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf noticed, that REAL ID compliant by October is one of the Department's top priorities. Wolf pledged that the Department will continue to examine other viable options to improve upon this process and continues doing everything it can to inform Americans of the requirement to obtain a REAL ID before the full enforcement deadline later this year.
