The federal REAL ID Act of 2005 sets new standards for the issuance of driver licenses and ID cards.
The REAL ID Act became effective nationwide on May 11, 2008. Florida began issuing REAL ID compliant credentials after January 1, 2010. The new credentials have a star in the upper right corner of the card, as shown in the sample license example. Florida is a REAL ID compliant state and all Florida licenses should be accepted nationwide.
