The California Real ID requirement becomes effective on May 7, fulfilling a law enacted following the 9/11 attacks aimed at enhancing national security. This federally mandated identification replaces traditional driver's licenses for domestic travel and was delayed over 20 years due to various obstacles including state pushbacks, privacy concerns, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Homeland Security underscores the need for secure identification as integral to national security.
The Real ID Act, designed to strengthen national security in response to the 9/11 attacks, now requires a federally approved ID for domestic travel.
Secure driver's licenses and identification documents are a vital component of our national security framework, as stated by the Department of Homeland Security.
