The 2005 Real ID Act, which requires U.S. citizens to present more than just a basic driver's license to board domestic flights, was initially scheduled to take effect on May 3, 2023.
However, after many years of delays, the Department of Homeland Security has postponed the enforcement deadline...travelers will now have until May 7, 2025, to obtain the necessary updated documents....
Soon, a Real ID may be mandatory for boarding a commercial flight. The Real ID may also be a requirement for accessing secure buildings... It could range from Capitol buildings to public schools, and even public gathering places.
The REAL ID Act, which was introduced in the Federal Register on January 28, 2008, sparked widespread concern with over 21,000 comments posted in response...

Some comments warned that the REAL ID could become a mandatory requirement for all aspects of American life, with potential consequences beyond its original purpose, including control over gun ownership and marijuana use.
The ID could be necessary for everyday tasks such as air travel, banking, and accessing government benefits like Social Security and Medicaid....
Mark of the Beast.
We were warned.......................
But not voting.
That would be racist.
I predict an array of tracking-blocking products to hit the market. The 2-year delay is a window of opportunity. Never go anywhere without inserting your ID and cellphone into a Faraday bag. Stop subscribing to EZPass, etc.
Meantime, call your representative and try to get the Republican House to head this off before the next election.
I believe that presenting a valid passport is another option for boarding domestic flights under the Act.
Just checked my DL.
I have the Gold Star............................
Unless you are an illegal alien.
Unless there is a some RF tracking in it, it's the same as my previous license.
Couldnt we just wear a gold star on our clothing??
My Florida drivers license has had a gold star for more than ten years. That license renewal cycle (beginning 2010) demanded that we bring a host of credentials to prove that we are who our drivers license states. Name changes (e.g. marriage) need trail of proof. A valid U.S. Passport is adequate substitute for a Real ID drivers license.
Just keep on voting illegally with no valid id
Cheat for Libtards
Check your state laws. Many came into compliance for the Resl ID when one gets a drivers license
Yes the passport does work. I maintain mine. And I have not gotten the real ID.
Although I have refused to fly since covid started and see no reason to change my mind now. Which of course isn’t going to matter when they start requiring one to go down the street.
I am surprised at how many of those my age, baby boomers, are so readily willing to accept this. We grew up being taught about totalitarian governments and demanding papers wherever you went.
It is stunning to list the number of surveillance like things that Americans must be subjected to in order to live life that none of which are applied to illegal aliens
But not to vote.
I think the point is not that some states already require it; but that when all states require it as of the deadline, the system can or will be used nationally, by Federal compulsion, to curtail our freedoms.
The article also points out that once it's in place, they can demand additonal info to be added digitally.
I cant find any RF chip in my DL, and it does have the gold star
