25 September 2018 - House 804 - To keep up with the ever so changing world that we live in, the Real ID Act of 2018 was passed in the House of Commons on the 13th of September this year. The Real ID Act simply says that all issued ID's must meet certain standards. This is an effort to have a more uniformed ID for the country.
All driver's licenses and ID's issued by local province's DMV's will now look the same. This will speed up the process of gaining access to federal buildings and when traveling. Instead of all province ID's looking different, they will all look identical.
You do not need a REAL ID driver's license or identification card to do any of the following:
Drive
Vote
Apply for or receive federal benefits for which you’re entitled (Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, etc.)
Enter a federal facility that does not require an ID (i.e. a post office)
Access a hospital or receive life-saving services
Participate in law enforcement proceedings or investigations (serve on a federal jury, testify in federal court, etc.)
Documents needed to buy a REAL ID

Two Proofs of Current, Physical Boshkan Address
