\nThe Department of Homeland Security is delaying its REAL ID requirement for air travel another two years, the agency announced Monday.<\/p>\n
The program, which was set to begin May 3, 2023, will not be enforced until May 7, 2025.<\/p>\n
Department of Homeland Security said this extension gives states more time to ensure residents have driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards that meet the security standards established by the REAL ID Act.<\/p>\n
Beginning May 7, 2025, federal agencies, including TSA, will not accept driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards that do not meet federal standards.<\/p>\n
The agency said the extension is necessary because of the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
All 50 states, the District of Columbia and four of five U.S. territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards.
