Officials Brace For Real ID Scramble

Informações:

Synopsis

Roughly a million Oregonians are going to need new IDs to comply with the federal Real ID Act that goes into effect October 1. But the DMV can't start issuing Real ID-compliant licenses until July. The state is encouraging people to get or update their passports instead. We talk with Oregon Department of Transportation communications manager Tom Fuller about all the things the agency is doing to avoid even longer DMV lines and chaos at the airport later this year.
