Real ID

Real ID is an act passed that is requiring states to update their ID system, waiving laws prohibiting physical barriers at borders, and several other important immigration changes, asylum changes, etc.

There isn't much info on technical specifics worth mentioning, but here's a gist.

1. All states must share DMV databases amongst each other. Information about drivers is instantly available.

2. Security measures must be enhanced on all documents. (Holograms, small-print, etc).

3. Required for travel, entrance into federal facilities, nuclear power plants.
