Just as you were wrapping your mind around the idea that under Obamacare and the accompanying changes in the health-care system, your medical records will be floating around in some online repository, available to far too many people, you’re being told you’ll soon have a National Identity Card and a Western Hemisphere-compliant travel document whether you want it or not, if you plan to drive in the United States.
The federal government says it soon will be enforcing its demands that state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards comply with Department of Homeland Security standards.
DHS announced just before Christmas a final schedule for the full enforcement of the REAL ID Act of 2005.
That was set for a phased implementation beginning in January 2014 and full-scale enforcement planned no later than May 2017, at which time the federal government will no longer accept state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards that do not meet the minimum security standards set by DHS.
For many Americans, the full implementation of the REAL ID act is certain to trigger unfortunate memories of World War II and the modus operandi of fascist, totalitarian states, where travelers and ordinary citizens on the street are stopped by authorities and demanded, “Your papers, please!”
In the U.S., the justification for the REAL ID Act of 2005 was the concern for enhanced travel security after the 9/11 Commission documented several of the 9/11 terrorists had valid state-issued driver’s licenses and were able to freely board airplanes even though they were terrorists who had entered the U.S. illegally.

OTOH, I sure hope you are right because if you’re not, then that means we’ll all have to go through the process of getting another new TDL? What a pain the neck that will be.
“3200 fps faster enough?”
Yep, it is a direct rebuttal that gets straight to the point without ambiguity. Keep it simple.
“Calling all illegal aliens...oh, and citizens too....”
Remember, RFID cards get their DRIVE ENERGY from the triggering RF in order to send out their info. They don't have on-board batteries. No power, no signal.
Perhaps someone with access to an RFID reader could test.
got it
I live here. The DDS site actually trumpets that it is a REAL ID state. You apparently haven;t read enough. You can say nice try but your Georgia license if done with the new requirements comports to the FEDERAL REAL ID act. You can deny it all you want but that doesn’t change the facts
NOTA BENE: HOW MANY TIMES THE DDS REFERS TO THE REAL ID ACT
Can I obtain a new Secure ID DL or ID even though it is not time for my renewal?
Yes. After July 1, 2012, if you bring the mandatory documents prior to your renewal, you will be issued a Secure DL or ID.
Will there be a change in cost, if I am issued a Secured DL or ID?
No. There will be no changes in the current fees. Click here to see the current DL and ID fees.
Who will be required to be issued a Secure ID DL or ID card?
All new customers will be issued a Secure ID DL or ID card. All existing customers that need to renew or reinstate a DL/ID beginning July 1, 2012 will be issued a Secure ID DL or ID card.
Customers requesting a replacement or updating their existing DL or ID card are strongly encouraged to be issued a Secure ID DL or ID.
What are the benefits of a Secure DL/ID?
The benefits of a Secure DL/ID is that it:
Ensures the integrity of your DL/ID;
Added security against personal identity theft;
Ensures that the DDS has your most current information; and
Meets upcoming federal requirements for boarding a commercial flight and entry into federal buildings.
What will be different for me?
You must visit a Customer Service Center in person on your first renewal, reinstatement or first issuance beginning July 1, 2012;
You must provide an original or certified copy of your Birth Certificate or other proof of identity, and proof U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the United States;
You must provide your Social Security Card or other proof of full SSN. Previously, DDS was allowed to simply ask you for your SSN; and
You must provide two different proofs of your residential address. Previously, DDS only required one proof of your residential address for your 1st DL or ID card.
Additional documentation to verify lawful presence in the United States may be required if you are a non-citizen.
Additional documentation may be required if you have had a legal name change.
What if I am a dependent and do not have two documents that show I am residing with a parent, guardian or relative?
DDS accepts a number of common documents to prove your residential address including:
A non-expired Georgia driver’s license, permit or identification card issued to your parent, guardian, spouse, or child;
A dependent’s State of Georgia or Federal income tax return for current or preceding calendar year listing you as a dependent; and
School records or transcripts showing your residential address.
What if I reside in an assisted care facility and do not have two documents that show where I am residing?
DDS will accept a letter from the facility for customers who reside in a medical or assisted care facility. The letter must be on the facility’s official letterhead and include your name, date of birth, the address of the facility, and the name and phone number of an official representative of the facility.
What if I have legally changed my name?
For Existing Customers - Customers who have a valid Georgia DL or ID must present the latest certified document supporting the most recent name change. For example, a woman who has divorced and wishes to change her name on her DL or ID will present an original birth certificate plus a divorce decree showing a full legal name.
For Customers New To Georgia - If the name has changed from an original birth record, passport, or other approved identity document, customers must present the complete trail of certified documents supporting all name changes. Acceptable documents include an original or certified copy of a marriage certificate or marriage license application (for all marriages), divorce decree (if a name change was specified on the decree), court ordered name change, or adoption decree.
Please note that Georgia does not recognize same sex marriages and cannot accept out of state marriage documents reflecting a person taking the last name of a same sex partner.
What if I have lost my original or certified copy of an identity document?
You will need to contact the appropriate agency to get a certified copy of an accepted identity document.
What if I do not have all of the documents when I visit a Customer Service Center?
If you currently hold a valid Georgia DL or ID, you will receive a temporary DL/ID that has a limited term (up to 120 days) which gives you additional time to gather the required documents and return to a Customer Service Center with your documents.
Can I continue using my existing Georgia DL or ID prior to being issued a Secure ID Driving License?
Yes, as long as the expiration date appearing on your DL or ID has not passed.
What online services can I perform through the DDS Internet site beginning July 1, 2012?
Until you have been issued a Secure ID DL or ID, you will be unable to renew your DL/ID online beginning July 1, 2012. However, all other online services such as ordering an MVR, checking your points, replacement of a lost license and change of address will continue to be available.
What is the Secure ID program?
DDS began issuing its most recent generation of DL and ID cards in 2010 under our SAFFE DL (Secure Automated Fast Friendly Easier Driver’s License) Program. SAFFE DL contained over 20 overt, covert and forensic security features built into the DL/ID. Georgia’s new Secure ID program builds on the advances of SAFFE DL by further enhancing the integrity and security of our DLs and ID cards.
Why is the DDS enacting the Secure ID program?
To further improve the security and integrity of Georgia’s DL and ID cards and to be fully compliant with the Federal Real ID Act of 2005, which adopted the recommendations of the 911 Commission. The Real ID Act prohibits the federal government from accepting driver licenses or IDs issued by non-compliant states to board a commercial flight or enter a federal building.
When will DDS begin the new requirements?
The requirements become effective July 1, 2012. The DDS Customer Service Centers will begin issuing the new Secure ID on Tuesday, July 3, 2012 to customers presenting the new required documentation.
What if I am not eligible for a Social Security Number?
You must go to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and obtain a Letter of Denial stating that you are not eligible for a SSN, and bring the letter with your other documents during your next visit to DDS.
Does the new DL/ID look different?
The only visible difference from the current DL/ID is that a gold star will be printed on the top right corner of the Secure DL and IDs. An example is below:
Plus you do not understand the Real ID act…. it does NOT require that your DL number be the same as your social security number
Real ID drivers licenses and Enhanced Drivers licenses are different. One is the first step in the police state, the other is the second step.
So, the 9/11 terrorists used STATE driver’s licenses to get on the planes with caused a huge overreaction in 2005 mandating that everybody get a digitally encoded FEDERAL ID by 2015.
Yet, there are still a majority of libs in Congress who refuse to mandate ANY IDs for voting.
How is this contradiction going to work itself out by 2015? You have to wonder.
Clearly you are too logical, vote Dem!
And microwaves. Zap!
What does the “THAT’S RACIST” kid have to say about this?
Indeed
“This is the first time I’ve seen these since my Dad was deployed to West Berlin.”
These were also my thoughts. Any kind of biometric data or a GPS device in the card and I’m opposed... but they don’t appear to be doing that.
The only objection I have is ... will I be required to buy this? Will I also be required to buy a state driver’s license?
Also.. if everyone is required to have ID ... now there is no excuse for people to object to voter ID laws.

You’re quite the optimist, aren’t you?
;-}
>>The point I will get worried is when they start requiring RFID so that your license can be “checked” without you ever knowing it has been scanned.
That’s what aluminized sleeves are for.
