Real ID Act of 2005 and Renewing Your CDL

Hello Drivers! In May 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act of 2005 which set minimum national standards for issuance of state driver's licenses. In brief summary, this falls in the state law arena pertaining to security, authentication and issuance procedures standards for state driver's licensing (your CDL). The goal of this program is to improve the reliability and accuracy of state-issued identification documents, which should deter terrorist abilities to evade detection by using fraudulent identifications.
What can you do? At your first opportunity, call your state Department of Motor Vehicles and find out what your state currently requires regarding further proof of your legal identity. The Compliance Department does not maintain a current database of the various states requirements. Therefore, we are asking that you please be proactive and seek this information in advance of your CDL renewal. Let's continue to stay ahead of the curve.
