Guam now fully-Read ID Act compliant

Posted: Updated:

Guam is now in full compliance with the Real ID Act. The federal law was passed at the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission, and sets minimum standards for identification.

The Government of Guam had received a waiver, but Governor Lou Leon Guerrero was notified Friday by the Department of Homeland Security that its certification was approved.

Real ID-compliant identification such as driver's licenses are required for access to federal government and military facilities.
