The May 7 deadline is looming to have a Real ID, which will be required to get into government buildings and through airport security. Congress mandated the switch to Real IDs after 9/11. The new IDs are more secure and harder to counterfeit. But after several lengthy delays, millions of Americans still don't meet the requirement that's just over a month away.
Main Idea: Millions of Americans still do not have a Real ID as the May 7 deadline nears, which could cause travel delays and other problems.
Key Points:
Millions of travelers may face delays at airports and DMV lines as the Real ID deadline nears. People without compliant IDs may need a passport or must make another trip for a new card.
