The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that it was delaying full enforcement of the Real ID.
It was supposed to go into effect on May 3, 2023. Full enforcement will now take effect on May 7, 2025.
DHS said the extension is due, in part, to"lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic" which it says hindered people's ability to obtain a Real ID. It adds that many agencies are dealing with backlogs, which would have made obtaining a Real ID by the May 3 deadline difficult.
