FAQ on REAL ID Act

What is the Real ID Act?

The Real ID Act is a law signed by President Bush in May 2005, which, if it is accepted by and carried out by the states, would turn state driver’s licenses into a genuine national identity card and impose numerous new burdens on taxpayers, citizens, immigrants, and state governments. 

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

- Benjamin Franklin, 1759
