Real ID Uptown

In 2005 the Federal Real ID act was passed and the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission were adopted. The act required the federal government to accept only Driver’s Licenses and State ID cards issued by states meeting the requirements of the Real ID Act. This includes screening citizens for commercial flights and entering federal buildings. Luckily ABC Title is an authorized issuer.
