[nfb-talk] FW: TSA Enforcement of the REAL ID Act

[Michael Hingson]

Terry,

I only know what was in the email. I believe the ID question must be
answered by each state based on the "new" requirements. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Here is the announcement itself.

TSA Enforcement of the REAL ID Act

In 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act in accordance with the 9/11
Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government "set standards for
the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses." 
On January 8, 2016, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced the
schedule for the final phase of implementation of the REAL ID Act. The
Secretary's statement set the final deadlines for the Phased Enforcement
Schedule for REAL ID originally announced on December 20, 2013. 
Beginning January 22, 2018, TSA security checkpoints at airports will no
longer accept driver's licenses and identification cards issued by REAL ID
non-compliant jurisdictions that have not been granted DHS extensions to the
compliance deadline. DHS websites and TSA checkpoints will prominently post
up-to-date lists of states whose credentials may not be accepted. Please
note that REAL ID enforcement by TSA will only affect designated
state-issued credentials and will not affect TSA acceptance of other
identity documents such as passports, military IDs, and Trusted Traveler
cards.
Beginning October 1, 2020, TSA will no longer accept any state-issued
driver's licenses and identification cards that are not REAL ID compliant.
As before, individuals may still use alternative identity documents accepted
by TSA. 
The DHS and TSA websites contain additional information about the
Department's implementation of REAL ID, including the list of documents TSA
accepts at airport checkpoints and up-to-date compliance status for each
state. For guidance and recommendations, see the REAL ID factsheet.
If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at the
TSA Contact Center: 1-866-289-9673. We appreciate your assistance in helping
us share this information widely. 
Thank you in advance for your support. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson
