The upcoming enforcement of the Real ID requirement beginning May 7 mandates that individuals aged 18 and older possess federally approved identification for domestic flights and federal facility access. Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the state promotes early applications to avoid potential issues. The Real ID Act was initiated to enhance national security following the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, with secure identification seen as critical to national safety. Steps to apply include submitting identity documents and proof of residency.
Secure driver's licenses and identification documents are a vital component of our national security framework, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Waiting until the last minute could lead to unnecessary delays in obtaining a Real ID, as advised by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
California's Real ID requirement, enforcing federal standards for identification, starts on May 7, affecting all individuals aged 18 and older.
Due to pandemic-related delays, the Real ID Act's implementation has been pushed back significantly since its original deadline in 2008.
