Here is a general description of Real ID (google Real ID):
"Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government ?set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses.? The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards. States have made considerable progress in meeting this key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission and every state has a more secure driver's license today than before the passage of the Act."
I know that several states were in danger of not having their driver licenses recognized for airline travel or access to military bases because they had not complied with the REAL ID requirements. North Dakota and Missouri were two of those. I don't know if ND is still in that category but Missouri recently received another extension of a waiver to the requirements. Not sure how long that extension is but the state legislature is responsible to take adequate action to enhance driver licenses to meet the requirements. What I do see is a new Missouri license plate which is a pathetic replacement for the last pathetic version......lol
