[Michlib-l] Secretary of State request for help regarding REAL ID

[Simlar, Cathleen (MDOS)]

Hi, everyone. We're hoping you can help us share the following messages on REAL ID with the public through your own communication channels. I've also attached some images you can use and a flyer to post.   As you may know, the REAL ID deadline is almost a year away (Oct. 1, 2020) and if you don't have a REAL ID document, like a passport, Enhanced Driver's License or standard license turned into a REAL ID, you won't be allowed to board domestic fights.  Between now and the Oct. 1, 2020, I will be sending you occasional messages about REAL ID that I hope you'll share. As always, thanks so much for your help.

REAL ID may affect you, especially if you travel by air
On Oct. 1, 2020, the federally mandated REAL ID law goes into effect, and if you travel by air, this law will impact you. REAL ID is the post-9/11 federal requirement that sets higher security standards for identification. Once in effect, a REAL ID will be required to board any U.S. flight or to enter some federal facilities. A REAL ID can be a U.S. Passport or an Enhanced Driver's License - or you can turn your standard driver's license into a REAL ID at the Secretary of State's office. Learn more about the law and what documents you need to bring to get a REAL ID at Michigan.gov/REALID.

Starting Oct. 1, 2020, you'll need a REAL ID-compliant document to fly in the U.S. and enter some federal facilities per federal law. You can obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID from the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. Learn more at Michigan.gov/REALID
