The REAL ID has generated real confusion for many people, including older adults and their families, particularly around the timing of compliance and how to go about getting one. Officials say this change is intended to “inhibit terrorists’ ability to evade detection by using fraudulent identification.” This compliance is based on The REAL ID Act of 2005, a federal law mandating that REAL IDs are necessary for improving the reliability and accuracy of driver licenses and identification cards. These standards will be enforced starting October 1, 2020. The star denotes a REAL ID-compliant credential, which means it is up to par with new federal regulations that establish “minimum security standards,” according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Boarding a plane or entering a military base will be a little more difficult come next October - unless you have a small star at the top of your driver’s license.
