  • 2025-00484 — Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes; Phased Approach for Card-Based Enforcement
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3472
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have issued a final rule regarding the enforcement of REAL ID requirements for driver's licenses and identification cards used for federal purposes. Starting May 7, 2025, federal agencies must begin enforcing these requirements but can do so using a phased approach until May 5, 2027, if they consider factors like security, operational feasibility, and public impact. This rule aims to provide flexibility for a smoother transition since not all individuals currently possess REAL ID-compliant IDs. Agencies that choose phased enforcement must coordinate with DHS and publicly share their plans.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making sure everyone uses special ID cards called REAL ID for official things by 2025, but they're allowing agencies to switch over gradually until 2027 to make it easier for everyone. This means people might see different rules at different places, but it should all be ready by 2027.
