\"soon__your_driver___s_lic_115313_213175\"You\u2019ve probably never even heard of the \u201cReal ID Act of 2005.\u201d Most people haven\u2019t. It was one of a number of pieces of legislation that passed without grabbing any headlines or attention, but it\u2019s about to have very real implications for you as a small businessman or woman.<\/p>\n

The law was passed with the intention of making it difficult for terrorists to forge a driver\u2019s license. Guidelines were developed to make the design of driver\u2019s licenses nationwide, more difficult to counterfeit. The only problem? The states were slow to comply with the new law. At present, only 23 states have redesigned their licenses to meet the more rigorous standards of the new law.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security is tired of waiting. In a recently released directive, they\u2019ve authorized the TSA to set a deadline for compliance of January 22, 2018. After that date, if you\u2019re living in a state that has not upgraded their licenses to comply with the new law, it won\u2019t be considered acceptable identification, and you will be unable to board the plane unless you have an alternate form of identification, such as a passport.<\/p>\n

Currently, the states that have made no effort whatsoever to comply with the new law are: Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington, and the territory of American Samoa. The rest of the non-compliant states have filed for, and been granted extensions that will allow the citizens of those states to use their licenses until 2020.<\/p>\n

A stark minority of Americans have passports. If you\u2019re one of the many who does not have one, and you live in one of the states mentioned above, now would be a good time to consider getting one. If not, your ability to travel by air in the conduct of your business is going to be severely curtailed. Fortunately, the passport process isn\u2019t an especially difficult one, but it\u2019s best to start planning for the eventuality now. If you wind up getting turned away at the airport in a few years\u2019 time, and miss an important meeting because of it, you\u2019ll wish you had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
