“The Department of Homeland Security this week rejected requests to extend the amount of time five states have to develop identification cards compliant with the Real ID Act, upping the incentive for states to fall in line with the federal proof-of-identity law.
The move means that, come 2018, residents of Oklahoma, Kentucky, Maine, Pennsylvania and South Carolina might not be allowed to board commercial flights with only state driver’s licenses and would instead be required to use an alternative form of identification such as a passport, according to Homeland Security.” End of quote
I thought AZ was ok till a friend who just turned 65 had to renew their license and stamped across it was something about not compliant. So I looked it up and true, in AZ you have to pay $25 for an 8 year “travel ID”...

[font=arial, sans-serif]Maybe it doesn’t affect very many vandwellers but still I was surprised that AZ wasn’t compliant. There seems to be 2 dates, 2018 and 2020 floating around out there. Oh, and where did they come up with 56 states and territories? I didn’t know there were 6 “territories”.[/font]
