REAL ID Enforcement: American Samoa -- NOT COMPLIANT

From US Department of Homeland Security, January, 2018

REAL ID Enforcement: Northern Mariana Islands -- EXTENSION

The Northern Mariana Islands have an extension for REAL ID enforcement, allowing Federal agencies to accept driver's licenses and identification cards from the Northern Mariana Islands at Federal facilities, nuclear power plants and federally regulated commercial aircraft until October 10, 2018.

REAL ID Enforcement: Hawaii -- COMPLIANT

Hawaii is compliant with the REAL ID Act. Federal agencies can accept driver's licenses and identification cards from Hawaii at Federal facilities and nuclear power plants.

Secure driver's licenses and identification documents are a vital component of a holistic national security strategy. Law enforcement must be able to rely on government-issued identification documents and know that the bearer of such a document is who he or she claims to be. REAL ID is a coordinated effort by the states and the Federal Government to improve the reliability and accuracy of state-issued identification documents, which should inhibit terrorists’ ability to evade detection by using fraudulent identification.
