RealID Act

The REAL ID Act is a federal law that sets standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards to improve security and reduce fraud. Starting from 2025, these IDs will be required for federal activities like boarding commercial flights and entering federal buildings. To get a REAL ID, you need to provide verified documentation such as proof of identity, Social Security number, and residence. The goal is to create a more secure and reliable form of identification while allowing states to maintain control over their licensing programs.
