American Military News  March 24, 2020 Syracuse Media Group N.Y. - Geoff Herbert

President Donald Trump announced Monday that the deadline for obtaining a REAL ID for travel requirements is being delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The federal government was scheduled to begin requiring a REAL ID, enhanced driver’s license or similar valid identification cards in order to board any domestic flight starting Oct. 1, 2020. Trump said Monday that the deadline will be moved back to avoid crowding at DMV offices.

“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 during a White House briefing on the COVID-19 crisis.

Trump said a new deadline would be announced at a later date.
