The REAL ID Act was scheduled to go into effect on May 11, 2011, requiring the federalization of state issued driver's licenses but the Department of Homeland Security announced they will extend the deadline by 2 years because states were obviously revolting against it.

(It's under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security and it will track every move of Americans).

The government could put on this card : prescriptions, tax information, family information, social security number, legal information, etc. The simple answer is, ANYTHING they want.

The REAL ID violates the 10th Amendment because driver's licenses should be under control of individual states and not the federal government.

This also means decreased security. To steal someone's identity, thieves need to duplicate only one ID not as many as people have now.

You will be REQUIRED by the federal government to carry this "national ID" card everywhere. To vote, enter federal buildings, fly, buy a plane ticket, even if you're just sitting outside. You will have to carry it at all times whether you are driving or not.

The people who are here on a visa will be required to carry this ID as well the moment they come to this country and the ID will expire the same day the visa does.

All the applicants have to provide ( this doesn't apply to those on visa because they obviously can't provide a SSN):

- Documentation of birth date ( i.e: birth certificate)
- A photo ID
- Third party documentation showing name and place of residence
- Documentation of legal status and Social Security number

I hope this helps.
