Bill > HB5666

This bill mandates that the top of all state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards in West Virginia will now display the phrase "Authorized for all West Virginia State ID Purposes," replacing any previous language that might have indicated otherwise, such as "Not for REAL ID Purposes." The REAL ID Act of 2005 is a federal law that sets minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards to be accepted for certain federal purposes, like boarding airplanes or entering federal buildings. By changing the wording, this bill aims to clarify that West Virginia licenses and IDs are fully recognized for all state-level identification needs.
