THE Department of Public Safety’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles is notifying the public that its Real ID driver’s license system is undergoing maintenance.
BMV will, in the meantime, issue temporary licenses, DPS said on Thursday.
Motorists applying for a Real ID or a non-Real ID driver’s license will be issued a temporary certificate, which will be valid for 15 days.
Once the Real ID machine maintenance is completed, the temporary certificates will be changed into regular Real ID or non-Real ID driver’s license cards.
DPS said in the event the maintenance of the machines is not completed in 15 days, the temporary certificates can be updated free of charge by BMV.
The Real ID system has been down for more than two weeks, Variety learned.
The federal Real ID Act of 2005 establishes minimum security standards for license issuance and production, and prohibits certain federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification cards from states or territories not meeting the Act’s minimum standards.
A Real ID can be used as identification for boarding U.S. domestic flights.
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ driver’s license section office in Susupe.
