Real ID確實不能證明是公民，隻是證明你有合法在美的身份；

 REAL ID is not exclusively for U.S. citizens. While the REAL ID Act sets new standards for identification, some non-citizens, including those with lawful immigration status, are eligible to obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card in many states. 

 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• REAL ID Basics:

  .

  The REAL ID Act, passed in 2005, establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. 

   
• Who Needs a REAL ID?

  .

  Starting May 7, 2025, a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification (like a passport) will be required for domestic air travel and access to certain federal facilities. 

   
• Citizenship Requirement:

  .

  While REAL ID is a federal requirement, not all states require U.S. citizenship to obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or ID. 

   
• Eligibility for Non-Citizens:

  .

  Many states issue REAL IDs to non-citizens who can provide proof of lawful presence and other required documentation. 

   
• Non-Citizens and Federal IDs:

  .

  Non-citizens are still required to carry their federal documents, such as their green cards, and can use these for identification when flying domestically. 

   
• State Variations:

  .

  The rules for obtaining a REAL ID may vary by state. Some states offer a standard driver's license or ID that is not REAL ID compliant, while others require proof of lawful status for any type of license or ID, according to Dalal & Mehta, LLC. 

   
• Importance of Checking State Requirements:

  .

  Individuals should check with their state's DMV to understand the specific requirements for obtaining a REAL ID.
