Following the deadline of May 11, 2008, state driver's licenses and identification cards were not to be accepted for federal purposes unless the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determined that a state was compliant with the REAL ID or a state had been approved for an extension by the Secretary of DHS.
All 56 U.S. jurisdictions have received an initial extension from the Secretary of the DHS. The initial extension was valid until Dec. 31, 2009. On Friday, Dec. 18, the secretary issued a statement to extend that deadline.
While DHS estimated that the implementation of REAL ID will cost states $3.9 billion, Congress has appropriated only $200 million for state implementation.
