  • With the deadline to apply for a Real ID approaching in May, KNWA/FOX24 spoke with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration to learn more about these federally issued IDs.

The article from MSN, in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, addresses common misconceptions about the REAL ID Act. It explains that REAL ID is a federal law setting security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards, which will be required for domestic air travel and access to certain federal facilities starting May 7, 2025. The piece debunks myths such as REAL ID being a national ID card, clarifying that it's merely a set of standards for state IDs. It also discusses the documentation needed to obtain a REAL ID, emphasizing that while it might seem cumbersome, it's necessary for enhancing security. The article reassures that current state-issued IDs will remain valid until the deadline, and provides guidance on how to apply for a REAL ID, including the need for proof of identity, Social Security number, and two proofs of Arkansas residency.
