Travelers who have procrastinated making appointments to obtain driver's licenses or state identification cards that comply with the federal government's Real ID law are catching a break.
To avoid crowding at state motor-vehicle department offices, President Donald Trump said Monday that the deadline to obtain the enhanced licenses will be moved back. The change is intended to foster social distancing to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Without the change, many would not be allowed to board flights in the U.S. without one of the Real ID cards starting Oct. 1, though Real ID-compliant forms of identification don't just include driver's licenses. A passport or a passport card meets the requirement, as do Global Entry cards for U.S. travelers returning from overseas.Trump said the new deadline will be announced soon.
"We are postponing the deadline for compliance with Real ID requirement at a time when we are asking Americans to maintain social distancing," Trump said at Monday's news briefing on the coronavirus crisis. Some states had hoped for more time because of the huge numbers of travelers trying to get into DMVs before the deadline.
