Q: What if an applicant states he or she has been in the United States for a number of years and does not have a valid passport or EAD?
A: Citizens from these countries who entered the United States lawfully years ago may have passports that have expired and have not applied for an EAD. Regardless of whether or not the applicant has a valid passport, he or she will need to obtain an EAD from USCIS in order to be issued a REAL ID-compliant document.

Q: What if an applicant states he or she has a valid passport but not an EAD?
A: According to the REAL ID regulation, applicants for a compliant driver’s license or identification card who present a foreign passport must also have a valid visa attached to the passport along with an I-94, as evidence of identity. A passport with just an I-94 is not acceptable evidence of identity under the regulation. Therefore, for purposes of establishing identity, an applicant from the Freely Associated States (other than one with a previously issued REAL ID compliant driver’s license or identification card) will need to obtain an EAD from USCIS in order to be issued a REAL ID-compliant document. Nothing will prohibit a state from issuing a noncompliant driver’s license or identification card until they can obtain an EAD.
