Real ID Compliance

Real ID compliance refers to a set of security standards for state-issued identification cards, like driver’s licenses and IDs, established by the federal government. These standards enhance the security of IDs by including features such as improved design, stricter verification processes, and enhanced security measures. To be Real ID compliant, an ID must meet these criteria, allowing it for federal purposes like boarding commercial flights and entering secure federal buildings. People need to provide additional documentation when obtaining or renewing their ID to ensure they meet these standards. This helps improve overall security while still granting access to essential services.
