The Alaska Department of Motor Vehicles plans to start issuing Real ID compliant driver's licenses and state IDs starting on January 2, 2019 (Today).
Even though Alaskans won't have to show them until October of 2020, Alaska DMV Director Marla Thompson said people may want to think about applying for a Real ID sooner rather than later.
"As their driver's license or IDs are getting ready to expire, it would be a good time to figure out, 'Do I want to get a Real ID?' and, 'If I do, what do I need to process that,"' said Thompson.
