The Department of Homeland Security will again delay the requirement for air travelers to have a Real ID-compliant form of identification by Oct. 1, pushing the deadline back 19 months, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Tuesday.
Mayorkas said the new date for compliance will be May 3, 2023 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. DHS initially postponed the enforcement date from REAL ID from Oct. 1, 2020, to Oct. 1, 2021, in response to COVID-19 lockdowns last year.
The pandemic has significantly impacted states’ ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards, with many agencies still operating at limited capacity.
