AOL-In 2005,
Congress passed the Real ID Act. It sets stricter and more
secure requirements for state driver's licenses and identification
cards.
So what's on a Real ID? Your full legal name, birth date, gender,
address, signature, a license or ID number, digital photograph,
security features and machine-readable technology, like a barcode.
The problem is some states are issuing IDs that don't comply with
the new rules. Those states are Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and
Washington.
Starting Jan. 22, 2018, TSA security won't accept driver's licenses
from those states as a valid form of ID.
Seventeen states have filed for an extension
to become complaint with the Real ID regulations. That extension
allows residents of those states to use their current IDs until
October 2020.
