REAL ID Driver's License Deadline Extended to October 1, 2021

03/26/2020 4:54 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

The new deadline for REAL ID will be Oct. 1, 2021, a year from the current deadline.

Without the change, many would not be allowed to board flights in the U.S. without one of the REAL ID cards starting Oct. 1, 2020, or other Real ID-compliant forms of identification.  Other REAL ID compliant forms include a passport,  a passport card, or  Global Entry cards for U.S. travelers returning from overseas.

"The federal, state and local response to the spread of the coronavirus here in the United States necessitates a delay in this deadline," Chad Wolf, acting secretary of Homeland Security said. "Extending the deadline will also allow the Department to work with Congress to implement needed changes to expedite the issuance of REAL IDs once the current health crisis concludes."
