About this file
This document is a REAL ID requirements notice issued by federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA), applicable to contractors and individuals accessing federal facilities in Massachusetts. Effective May 7, 2025, federal agencies will only accept state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards that are REAL ID compliant, as evidenced by a star marking on the upper portion of the card, or Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDLs) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont. The notice emphasizes that REAL ID compliance is mandatory for individuals 18 years and older seeking to board commercial aircraft or access certain federal facilities, including Massachusetts National Guard facilities. Non-compliant identification will result in access denial.
The REAL ID Act, enacted in 2005 as H.R. 418 in response to the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, establishes minimum security standards for driver's license issuance and production. The document provides references to DHS's REAL ID Frequently Asked Questions and the congressional bill for additional information. The notice clarifies that REAL ID requirements apply only to official purposes as defined by the Act and do not affect other uses of driver's licenses or identification cards for non-official purposes. Contractors and personnel working on or visiting federal facilities, including those associated with the Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts, should ensure possession of compliant identification prior to the May 7, 2025 effective date to avoid access disruptions.

ATTENTION CONTRACTORS:
Effective 7 May, 2025: Federal agencies, including DHS and TSA, may only accept state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards as identification for purposes of accessing federal facilities - including TSA airport security checkpoints - if the license or card was issued by a REAL ID compliant state in accordance with the REAL ID security standards (meaning the license or card must include the REAL ID compliant star marking).
REAL ID-compliant cards will have of one of the following markings on the upper top portion of the card. If the card does not have one of these markings, it is not REAL ID-compliant and won’t be accepted as proof of identity in order to board commercial aircraft.
Examples of Real ID’s are included at the conclusion of this document
Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDL) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont are considered acceptable alternatives to REAL ID-compliant cards and will also be accepted for official REAL ID purposes. Most EDLs do not contain the star marking and this is acceptable.
Any individual seeking access to a MA National Guard facility without a Real ID will be denied access.

The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, H.R. 418 - Real ID Act of 2005 enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses and identification cards.” The Act and implementing regulations establish minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibit federal agencies from accepting for certain official purposes noncompliant driver’s licenses and identification cards.

Secure driver's licenses and identification documents are a vital component of our national security framework. DHS/TSA is committed to enforcing the REAL ID Act, therefore, beginning May 7, 2025, anyone 18 years and older that plans to fly domestically or visit certain Federal facilities will need a REAL ID.
The Act’s prohibitions do not affect other uses of driver’s licenses or identification cards unrelated to official purposes as defined in the Act.
