PennDOT Set To Start Issuing Driver Licenses Under Real ID Federal Standards

Pennsylvania is about to start issuing driver licenses that allow holders to board commercial airliners and enter certain secure federal facilities when federal Real ID standards take effect in Pennsylvania next year. The state Department of Transportation plans to issue the so-called Real IDs starting Friday. Those who want one must bring proof of current address, a Social Security card and proof of identity, such as a passport or birth certificate, to a driver license center.
