The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) is conducting a multiphase rulemaking to amend
the regulations to address mDLs. To initiate the first phase, TSA
published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on August 30,
2023, and a final rule on October 25, 2024. This initial phase
enables States to apply to TSA for a temporary waiver of the
prohibition on Federal acceptance of non-compliant mDLs. The waiver
enabled by this rule permits Federal agencies, at their discretion,
to continue accepting for official REAL ID purposes mDLs issued by
States to whom TSA has issued a waiver. In the second phase, TSA
intends to follow the finalization of industry technical standards
and issue another rule that would replace the waiver provisions
with minimum technical requirements and security standards
necessary for states to issue REAL ID-compliant mDLs. Through this
final rule, TSA requires States to apply to TSA for a waiver,
following the processes set forth in section 37.9(a) and submitting
materials required by sections 37.10(a) and (b). The final rule
also imposes continuing obligations on a State that has been issued
a waiver, which may require States to submit additional materials
to TSA.
