REAL ID
What is REAL ID?
The REAL ID Act of 2005,
passed by Congress, enacted 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.
Iowa is a REAL ID compliant state.
REAL ID does NOT apply to the following:
- Entering Federal facilities that do not require a person to present identification
- Voting or registering to vote
- Applying for or receiving Federal benefits
- Being licensed to drive
- Accessing Health or life preserving services (hospitals, clinics), law enforcement, or constitutionally protected activities
- Participating in law enforcement proceedings or investigations
The Department of Homeland Security is implementing the
REAL ID Act for air travel.
Starting January 22, 2018, passengers with a driver’s license issued by a state that is still not compliant with the REAL ID Act will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight. Passengers with driver’s licenses issued by a state that is compliant with REAL ID will still be able to use their driver’s licenses or identification cards. Iowa is a REAL ID compliant state.
Starting October 1, 2020, every air
traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license, or
another acceptable form of identification, for domestic
air travel.
Will minors need to have
driver’s licenses to fly domestically?
TSA does not require children under
18 to provide identification when traveling with a companion
within the United States. The companion will need acceptable
identification.
Is TSA going to accept my driver’s
license starting on January 1, 2016?
TSA will
continue to accept driver’s licenses issued by all states
through January 2018 and then, will continue to accept
licenses from all compliant states or noncompliant states
with an extension.
Iowa is a compliant state.
Will I need to get a new driver’s
license or passport?
You have until
October 2020 to replace your current license with a REAL ID
compliant license.
Is the Department of Homeland
Security trying to build a national database with all of our
information?
NO. REAL ID does not build a national
database nor does it grant the Federal Government or another
state access to a state’s driver’s license data. REAL ID is
not a national identification card. States and territories
will continue to issue its own unique license, maintain its
own records, and determine who may access those records and
under what circumstances.
Where do I get a REAL ID?
The Plymouth
County Driver’s License station in the Annex building issues
REAL ID’s. There is no additional charge for a REAL ID.
Hours are Wednesdays & Thursdays, 8:30 – 4:30.
To get a REAL ID, you will need:
- Certified birth certificate or passport. If you are using a birth certificate and have a different name due to marriage or court order, you will need a marriage certificate or other court-ordered document
- Social Security card
- One Proof of address, if your driver’s license is current. Two forms if the address is not current.
