The REAL ID extension had originally expired on Jan. 10, 2019. However, DHS recently authorized an additional extension through April 10, 2019. According to the Homeland Security letter, DHS has received and is reviewing Guam\u2019s certification that Guam has implemented a program that meets the standards of the REAL ID Act of 2005 and regulation. However, additional time is needed to complete the review, the letter stated. <\/p>\n<p>This additional extension allows federal agencies to accept Guam issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards for access to military installations for official purposes. <\/p>\n<p>In response to the extension and keeping safety and security at the forefront, NBG will continue to accept the following authorized identification at the Visitor Control Center:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 All REAL ID driver\u2019s licenses and ID cards<br \/>\n\u2022 All Guam driver\u2019s licenses and Guam ID cards<br \/>\n\u2022 Valid U.S. passports <\/p>\n<p>This requirement impacts individuals requesting access to NBG properties including: guests, contractors, vendors, service providers, and any other non-Department of Defense cardholders.<\/p>\n<p>Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9\/11 Commission\u2019s recommendation that the Federal Government \u201cset standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver\u2019s licenses.\u201d The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards and prohibits federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards. REAL IDs require applicants to submit more documents to prove their identity, including a proof of birth, citizenship, and residency.<\/p>\n<p>For a full list of documents you can use to apply for a REAL ID go to https:\/\/www.guamtax.com\/help\/realIDpolicy.html.<\/p>\n<p>The NBG VCC Guest Services hours of operation are Monday to Friday, from 9am to 3:30pm.
