CaliforniaвЂ™s Real ID-compliant license features a gold grizzly bear with a star cut-out. The placement and look of the star varies from state-to-state, but most will either be gold or black, and some will feature a circle around the star. The Department of Homeland Security, which was tasked with managing the implementation of Real ID licenses, says all drivers looking to do any of those things must have a Real ID-compliant license, which features a star in some form on the card. The Real ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, set minimum security standards for state-issued driverвЂ™s licenses and ID cards that are required for accessing federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants and boarding commercial airplanes. If your trucking travels take you to military bases or other federal facilities, you need to make sure your license is compliant with a law fully taking effect Oct. Since publication, the Department of Homeland Security has delayed the Real ID requirement to Oct. Those stars vary by state, but they can be any of these examples.Д®ditorвЂ™s note: This story was published before the COVID-19 pandemic began. The Department of Homeland Security says all Real ID-compliant licenses have a star in some form pictured on the front-facing side of the card.
