Comment on Some Washington driver’s licenses, ID cards to change

SPOKANE — Some Washington driver’s licenses will have a new look starting July 1, a result of the state’s decision to find a way to comply with the federal Real ID law. Standard licenses and identification cards will carry an additional notification in the upper right: FEDERAL LIMITS APPLY. Those limits mean that while the driver’s license is good for standard identification as well as operating a motor vehicle, it won’t pass muster at a federal facility that requires federal ID and isn’t proper identification for crossing an international border. It will be acceptable identification for domestic air travel until Sept.
