The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday that it would extend the deadline for REAL ID compliance.
Key Points:
Background: The federal REAL ID Act requires states to issue driver’s licenses and identification documents that comply with heightened security standards. The most recent extension was granted in part because of “lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic” and associated delays at state Department of Motor Vehicle offices. The extension will give applicants additional time to apply for REAL IDs and states additional time to process applications. DHS has extended the deadline numerous times, most recently in April 2021.
