Why is DHS taking an age-based approach to enrolling drivers in the REAL ID program?
Some commenters proposed that DHS conduct a risk-based assessment based on age in order to decrease costs and lessen the impact on lines at the DMV. DHS analyzed the data and concluded that the commenters were right. Therefore, the final rule focuses on enrolling driving populations that may pose more risk of having or using a fraudulent ID. As a result, persons born on or after December 1, 1964, will have to obtain a REAL ID by December 1, 2014 while those born before December 1, 1964, will have until December 1, 2017. This substantially reduces costs and congestion at the DMV by spreading out the enrollment period over a greater period of time.
