The TSA unveiled a proposal Thursday that would allow federal agencies to use discretion for two years in how strictly they should enforce the May 7, 2025, deadline for compliance.
In 34 states, less than 60% of driver's licenses complied with Real ID at the beginning of the year. For 22 of those states, in fact, fewer than 40% met the standards.
The long history of the Department of Homeland Security setting deadlines for Real ID compliance, only to abandon them as they approached, could make Americans complacent about upgrading their license.
DHS believes this pattern is likely to delay increased adoption in many states despite best efforts to inform the public, potentially leading to last-minute surges in demand for Real IDs leading up to the deadline.
