Individual state’s compliance status can be viewed by visiting https://www.dhs.gov/real-id. Although the state may be compliant, the state resident will still need to personally obtain a Real ID compliant DL or other ID. (Markings of Real ID compliant licenses varies by state. North Carolina compliant licenses and IDs are marked with a gold star in the upper right hand corner https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/driver/realid.)

For clarification on what the REAL ID Act means personally, visit http://dhs.gov/real-id-public-faqs or http://tsa.gov and search "REAL ID."

This information is subject to change on a daily basis and everyone is encouraged to continue to monitor the web for modifications.
