Real ID Update

Governor Dayton’s senior staff recently met with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials. During the meeting the Governor’s staff gave the DHS officials a letter from the Governor requesting an extension as Minnesota works to comply with the requirements of REAL ID.  The administration staff in the meeting were assured by DHS officials that states which continue to make progress toward compliance will be granted extensions. DHS stated, “Given the current focus of DHS on hurricane relief efforts, it is likely that states receiving an extension may not have it in writing by October 11, when the current extension is set to expire. However, DHS has assured Minnesota that federal agencies will honor the current extension, until DHS makes final extension decisions.”
