REAL ID Info Event Scheduled In Yardley

YARDLEY, PA — A session with a local lawmaker and his staff to explain details about Pennsylvania's REAL ID requirements has been scheduled in Yardley.

State Rep. Perry Warren will be hosting the event from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at the Lower Makefield Community Center, at 1550 Oxford Valley Rd.

Warren said he and his staff also will be sharing information on jobs with the U.S. Census Bureau.

"We are partnering with representatives from PennDOT to host an information session designed to help residents understand what REAL ID is and if they need one," Warren said. "We will also provide information on the hundreds of thousands of temporary positions the U.S. Census Bureau is attempting to fill across the country – including positions in Bucks County and around the region."

Starting in October 2020, traditional Pennsylvania driver’s licenses will no longer be acceptable identification to board domestic commercial flights or enter secure federal buildings and military installations.

In nine months, residents will need a REAL ID-compliant Pennsylvania driver’s license or another form of federally acceptable identification (such as a valid passport or military ID) to fly or enter secure federal buildings.

Residents will not be able to apply for a REAL ID at the outreach event. The event serves as an information session to provide residents with the details they need to decide if they want to pursue applying for a REAL ID.

For more information, residents may contact Warren’s office at 215-493-5420.
