WBAL reports that transportation officials are reminding flyers to get ready for the implementation of the Real ID Act. It was a measure passed by Congress in 2005 requiring added security standards for those trying to fly and gain access to federal facilities, such as military bases. Marylanders will have to be Real ID-compliant by 2020, which means if you haven't already done so, you need to provide certain documents showing proof of your identity and age, Social Security number and Maryland residency. Real ID-compliant licenses will have a star in the upper right-hand corner. You can check if your ID is compliant on the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration website
