Real ID Policy


View Guam's New DL & ID card designs (Implemented 10/12/2020)

As of June 25, 2018, the Department of Revenue and Taxation (DRT), Division of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offers the option of obtaining a REAL ID compliant Driver's License OR Identification (ID) card.

In 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act that established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's license (DL) and identification (ID) cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes DL and ID cards from states that do not meet these standards. The final enforcement phase for federal official purposes that covers acceptance of state-issued DL and ID cards for purposes of boarding a federally-regulated commercial aircraft began on January 22, 2018; and, the regulatory card-based enforcement date is October 1, 2020. For more information on the REAL ID Act, please visit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website.
