Real ID Act Compliance
A number of states are not yet in compliance and were granted an extension for REAL ID implementation. Federal agencies will accept driver’s licenses and identification cards from non-compliant states at federal buildings, nuclear power plants, and federally regulated commercial aircraft until October 10, 2018.
It is important to keep in mind that U.S. passports serve as government compliant documentation for domestic as well as international air travel. If your state remains non-compliant or you haven’t updated your driver’s license, the best solution is to carry your passport.
Citizens must update their old state driver’s license for new REAL ID’s by October 1, 2020. In most states, a gold or black star in the top part of the card means it is compliant.
The only non-compliant U.S. state or territory not granted an extension was American Samoa. Driver’s licenses from American Samoa will not be accepted. A U.S. passport is required for air travel.
