On December 5, 2022 the Department of Homeland Security (#dhs) announced its intent to extend the REAL ID full enforcement date by 24 months, from May 3, 2023 to May 7, 2025.
Under the new regulations, states will now have additional time to ensure their residents have driver’s licenses and identification cards that meet the security standards established by the REAL ID.
As required by the law, following the enforcement deadline, federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (#tsa), will be prohibited from accepting driver’s licenses and identification cards that do not meet these federal standards.
