State gets waiver on Real ID

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton issued the following statement regarding the state's request for an extension on the REAL ID compliance:

“The State of Minnesota has been notified by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that we have been granted a formal extension for REAL ID compliance through October 10, 2018. All Minnesotans should be assured that they can continue to board commercial airplanes and access federal facilities with their existing Drivers Licenses or Birth Certificates, as we work to fully implement REAL ID and comply with federal requirements.”
