REAL ID implication leaving many with questions

September 3, 2025 News -- KRJB-KRJM-KKCQ 0

Enforcement of REAL ID requirements are now in effect, and this major change has left many with questions about their ID, and what it does, and doesn’t allow them to do. Stacy Erickson of the Norman County Recorder’s office explains the differences between a regular drivers license, an enhanced license, and a REAL ID. 

Many have also had questions about passports, and Erickson explains what a passport allows, and how you can get one, as that process is also different from your other forms of ID. 

If you’re a North Dakota Resident moving into Minnesota, Erickson says there have also been changes made in the last couple years, when it comes to changing your license. 

People with questions about REAL ID, and other forms of ID, should talk to their County Licensing Center, or go to www.usa.gov/real-id.
