| REAL ID Deadline Extended to October 1, 2021
Mark your calendars for October 1, 2021. That's the deadline for getting your REAL ID in the State of New Mexico. On that date, every U.S. resident will need to present a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID card to access Federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and boarding commercial aircraft. If your current New Mexico driver's license or ID: - Expires BEFORE October 1, 2021 – You are eligible to renew and obtain a REAL ID when your current New Mexico Driver’s License or ID expires.
- Expires AFTER October 1, 2021 – You are eligible to renew and obtain a REAL ID at any time before the federal deadline of October 1, 2021.
There will likely be a rush of citizens getting their REAL ID close to the October deadline, so you are encouraged to get yours before that date. To learn more, visit: https://realid.mvd.newmexico.gov/ |
