DHS postpones Real ID requirements

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has decided to postpone imposing Real ID requirements on New Hampshire citizens.

DHS announced that the government would give New Hampshire until December 31, 2009 to meet the Real ID requirements. The extension means that Granite State residents can continue to use their drivers' licenses for federal purposes.

"I am pleased that the federal government has recognized that the citizens of New Hampshire should not be singled out, and that it will not impose Real ID requirements here beginning in May," Gov. Lynch said in a statement.
