The article currently states that Michigan both a)has passed anti-Real ID legislation and b)adopted a pro-Real ID stance. Additionally, the link cited for part b is broken. On Thermonuclear War (talk) 04:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
References 76 and 77 on this page are broken links.

Reference 12 was also broken. I've replaced it with a link to the Federal Register version of the document. This link should be stable. Musonius (talk) 07:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

As of Dec 6 2013, Ohio has rejected REAL ID act implementation. http://www.dispatch.com//content/stories/local/2013/12/06/state-pulls-plans-to-comply-with-federal-id-law.html. Putting this in the talk section since I don't know what the vision is of the authors regarding state by state implementation or rejection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.0.34.2 (talk) 12:08, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
The graphic associated with the page only lists official compliance - a binary - not whether a state meets or exceeds the requirements, or what stance they've taken. As such, it's misleading; most states already meet or exceed the requirements. 174.62.68.53 (talk) 00:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
The graphic is out of date and inconsistent with the State adoption and non-compliance section. As an example, Indiana is shown as dark gray (filed extension) on the map but is listed as compliant in the referenced section. ejly (talk) 12:37, 2 November 2015 (UTC) 12:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
The graphic also lists at least one state, Tennessee, as being compliant when Tennessee is definitely NOT compliant, as of January, 2015.
The title looks like an acronym, but seems not to be. There must have been some press commentary on why the acronymic fetish for gov't programs is attractive to bill-drafters, and in what sense(s) it was argued that REAL ID was more real than its predecessors. Off-hand, it looks like a hint that lack of standards for counterfeiting-resistance was an issue or a red herring. Should be addressed.

My state ID expired on my 65th birthday. Then I discovered that, because Real-ID had been implemented in Arizona, I needed to present my birth certificate in order to renew my ID. However, before sending me a copy of my birth certificate, the San Francisco County Recorder requires me to send them a notarized form. But Arizona notaries require a CURRENT ID for identification before notarizing any form. So I am now and forever an "undocumented citizen."
Many others have the same problem. (Google for "catch-22 id renewal birth certificate") But I have yet to find a solution. This problem should be mentioned in the article. Or better yet the solution, if there is one.

For me and at least 40,000 others (41,400 hits on Google search for "catch-22 id renewal birth certificate"), it is of vital importance. Without a valid ID, I cannot file a Social Security change-of-address, therefore I cannot get my Medicare card, therefore I cannot get medical care. This is literally a matter of life-or-death.

I reverted two edits because they rely, at least in part, on papersplease.org because the site seems to be biased and unreliable. The headline at the page that was cited reads "DHS continues to threaten states that resist the REAL-ID Act", which doesn't seem like neutral language. On the same page we see a link named "CDC proposes martial law in the guise of 'medical quarantine'"; the idea of a medical institution proposing martial law seems quite unbelievable. If the editor really wishes to use this source, I request it be discussed at WP:Reliable sources noticeboard first. Jc3s5h (talk) 17:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
I would like to add to the article the following line:
"In many states a Driver's License in compliance with the REAL ID act is marked by a star in one of the card's corners"
In which paragraph should I add this?

The result of the move request was: move. General consensus for a move. (closed by page mover) feminist (talk) 02:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
REAL ID Act → Real ID Act – or Real ID, per WP:TITLETM / MOS:ALLCAPS / MOS:TMCAPS / MOS:TM ("use: Time, Kiss, Asus, Sony Mobile ... avoid: TIME, KISS, ASUS, SONY Mobile"). Although the all-caps styling is used in some sources (perhaps especially in the self-published sources from the U.S. federal government), it is not used consistently in either the cited independent reliable sources or within the Wikipedia article itself. The article contains more than 100 instances of "Real ID" with mixed-case styling, and only 81 instances of "REAL ID" with all-caps. The "REAL" does not appear to be an abbreviation (or at least not one that is widely known, if it exists). The all-caps styling seems to merely be for emphasis. Please also see the July 2005 comment with the heading "Acronym?" in the Talk page archive and the May 2015 comment on the article talk page with the heading "Looks like acronym". —BarrelProof (talk) 22:22, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Can we get a list of compliant alternatives where you don't need a REAL ID? Nickvet419 (talk) 15:49, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
Neither. Driver license. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/dmv/dl also: driver licenses, not drivers licenses -- user:GangofOne, 2020-02-12T16:59:31
> As of 2020, in the regions where wall construction is taking place, this section of the law (Section 102) is having significant and measurable negative impacts on the natural and cultural heritage of the United States.
This statement is supported by evidence in the subsequent sentences, but presents this opinion without reporting the potential benefits, and moreover, this type of analysis is largely irrelevant to the description of the law itself which is what this article is about. Any thoughts on ways to improve?
