After multiple delays, the REAL ID enforcement deadline is just a couple of weeks away.
The Transportation Security Administration will begin requiring compliant documentation for adults at U.S. airport security checkpoints on May 7. The rule – which also applies to certain other federal facilities and nuclear power plants – stems from the 2005 REAL ID Act.
The law “established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards and prohibits certain federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. REAL IDs are marked by a star-shaped mark on their top half.
