REAL ID for New York Drivers

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has contacted Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) providers to ask that they share information about the implementation of New York's REAL ID-compliant driver licenses—and the ramifications for air travelers—with PIRP staff, instructors, and students.

The DMV has provided an information sheet (click here to download).

We recommend that you:

• Share this information with any classroom instructors that you employ.
• Have them make a brief announcement about this information in each class they teach.
• Make available, during classes you conduct, the DMV's information sheet as a take-away for students (who, for instance, might want to reference the Web links mentioned in the document).
