Travel ID Required of US Citizens by October 1, 2020

Image
Be Prepared U.S. citizens must begin carrying a REAL ID Act-compliant ID or driver's license by this time next year.  To apply for this ID at the state level, the law requires people: to provide documentation showing their full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, two proofs of address of principal residence, and lawful status.  The ID will allow people to travel by air.  A passport will also provide the information required by airport security under the 2005 law. More information appears here . States asked for an extension of the October 2020 deadline because COVID-19 is hampering their employees ability to process the REAL IDs.  Trump granted the extension  See here .
