US EditionHundreds Of Thousands Forced To Get New CA REAL IDs: Here's Why
A legacy software error from 2006 caused incorrect expiration dates on some REAL IDs, affecting about 1% of holders, with free expedited replacements offered by the DMV.
- The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced a software glitch that prompted over 300,000 residents to replace their REAL IDs, with notifications ongoing this week.
- An internal review found a 2006 legacy software configuration that automatically applied standard renewal periods, overriding expiration dates tied to cardholders' authorized stay in the United States.
- Under federal rules, immigrants with legal status must have REAL ID expirations matching authorized stays, and the DMV said `This was a limited technical issue` while nearly 99% of California REAL ID holders need no action.
- The DMV will notify all 325,000 individuals in the coming weeks, expediting replacements with waived fees, and many can complete the DMV replacement process online without visiting facilities.
- California says it remains fully compliant with federal REAL ID rules, the DMV noted the issue does not affect voting or ineligible issuances, and warned it will not request personal information by phone or text.
