JUST IN: The looming REAL ID deadline already delayed twice is getting another major pushback, giving Americans more time to become compliant.
The looming REAL ID deadline already delayed twice is getting another major pushback, giving Americans an additional 24 months to become compliant, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.
Delays stemming from the pandemic initially prompted the DHS to postpone the enforcement date back one year to Oct. 1, 2021, before moving that deadline once again to May 2, 2023. The pandemic has significantly impacted states’ ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards.
Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards, following a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission. The purpose of the law was to standardize the way states issue driver’s licenses and federal IDs.
