A recent proposal from the Transportation Security Administration could delay full enforcement of REAL ID for two years .

The proposal would allow agencies to issue "warning notices" that would act like a " three -strikes" system to "enable agencies to begin enforcement without immediately denying access to individuals with noncompliant identification on the card-based enforcement deadline" The proposal stems from fears over what could happen if they must deny entry to those not complying.

The cards can be obtained at Secretary of State ’s Office locations, though many will require appointments to present materials needed to get the identification. The cost of a REAL ID is the same as a standard license, according to officials..
