What type of licenses and ID cards does the DHS currently accept to access its buildings and facilities and at TSA checkpoints?
Until full enforcement of REAL ID begins on May 3, 2023, DHS and its component agencies, including TSA at its airport security checkpoints, will continue to accept for identification purposes all Vermont Driver’s Licenses and ID cards, as Vermont has been recognized as a Real ID compliant.
Will CDL drivers be required to surrender their unexpired license if they renew early?
No. The current license will be voided and handed back. You should carry the old license with your temporary until the new license arrives.
If there is a mistake made on my license/ID, who do I contact?
If a mistake is found on your license/ID please contact us.
