REAL ID Materials

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security extended the REAL ID full enforcement deadline to May 7, 2025. DPS-DVS is working to update REAL ID material to reflect this extension.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DPS-DVS) designed a REAL ID fact sheet and brochure to serve as a guide for the public when deciding if a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card is right for them.
