Can States issue REAL IDs to illegal aliens?
No. The Act specifies that States must verify an applicants lawful status in the United States before issuing a REAL ID license or card. The Act does not prohibit States from issuing other, non-compliant, forms of drivers licenses and State identification. However, non-compliant REAL IDs cannot be accepted by Federal agencies for official purposes and must be clearly marked as not acceptable for official federal purposes.
