In June, we warned that the REAL ID Act could soon render your government-issued driver’s license useless as a form of ID at the airport.
Under the act, state licenses are required to have all the regular information such as a photo ID, date of birth, signature, etc., as well as be equipped with “machine-readable technology” in the form of a chip.
Since the REAL ID Act passed in 2005, many states have either complied with the new regulations or have asked for an extension to comply.
Arizona, whose compliance was questionable the last time we wrote about the REAL ID Act, is now fully compliant.
But a handful of states and territories still haven’t issued new licenses that meet the federal regulations.
If you’re a resident of Louisiana, Minnesota, American Samoa, New Hampshire, or New York, you might need to begin traveling with your passport in 2016.
