The United States Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 in response to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The Texas Department of Public Safety is committed to protecting the citizens of Texas by only licensing individuals who are properly identified and can demonstrate their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle on public roadways.
