With the REAL ID law for travel in effect across the country, anyone traveling domestically by airplane or visiting certain federal facilities must use a REAL ID-compliant document:
Standard driver’s license or ID card will work for other U.S. travel like driving in Washington, across state lines, or riding a train and Standard driver’s licenses or ID cards are available without U.S. citizenship; however, Enhanced Driver License (EDL) and Enhanced Identification Cards (EID) require U.S. Citizenship and are therefore not available to COFA citizens legally residing in Washington State.
To combat the lack of access to REAL ID compliant documents for COFA citizens in Washington, we are working to support renewal processes and covering processing fees for application and mailing at our offices in Vancouver, WA and Federal Way, WA.
