States Struggling to Meet Demand for Real IDs

Airports across the country are warning the Trump Administration of a looming crisis. As you probably heard by now, beginning Oct. 1, a driver’s license will no longer be enough to allow you to board a plane. But states are struggling to meet the demand for the new Real IDs. NBC reports, states have issued 95 million of them so far, but that’s just 34% of the country. Americans have just over 7 months to upgrade or risk not being able to fly. Driver centers nationwide are packed with frustrated people trying to upgrade their licenses, making appointments months in advance and bringing the required paperwork.
