(f) Failure to comply with any of these requiresmens may result in withholding of final payment.

Notice of REAL ID Act Implications NOTICE: REAL ID Act enforcement by the Department of Defense was implemented. As such, non-enhanced MN driver's licenses and state identification cards will soon become invalid for access to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Air Reserve Station/934th Airlift Wing. Therefore, contractors, subcontractors, and delivery drivers will be required to possess an Enhanced Driver's License/State ID Card, or U.S. Passport for continued access to the installation. Lead time to obtain these accepted forms of identification is approximately 6 weeks. Notice of REAL ID enforcement on this installation will be provided as soon as is possible; however, it is likely that notice could be insufficient to obtain an enhanced ID.

UPDATE 31JAN19: NO STATES ARE SUBJECT TO REAL ID ENFORCEMENT AT THIS TIME. DoD will accept standard State-issued driver's licenses and identification cards from all U.S. States and territories as proof of identity. However, please note a key exception: State-issued driver's licenses and identification cards marked "Not Valid for Federal Purposes", "Federal Limits May Apply" or other similar language still may not be accepted by DoD. Currently Minnesota is issuing ID’s marked "Not Valid for Federal Purposes" unless the person requests a REAL ID compliant ID
