Who will have routine access to the information that the DMVs collect?
As they do now, only authorized DMV officials and law enforcement in the licensing State will have access to DMV records. Licensing authorities will be able to verify that an individual holds only one REAL ID document, and is not attempting to obtain multiple documents from multiple States. Neither the REAL ID Act nor this final rule creates greater access to State DMV records by the Federal government than already exists under current statutes for law enforcement purposes.
