Gov. Henry McMaster and South Carolina DMV Executive Director Kevin Shwedo urged South Carolinians on Wednesday to obtain a REAL ID driver’s license and identification card in order to increase security and prevent disasters like 9\/11 in the future.<\/p>\n
The REAL ID has three specific uses.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll allow you to board a domestic commercial aircraft, enter a secure federal building and enter a military installation,\u201d Shwedo said. \u201cI focus on those three because if you don\u2019t need to do those three things, you don\u2019t need a REAL ID.\u201d<\/p>\n
South Carolinians have just over two years to obtain the the REAL ID.<\/p>\n
\u201cStarting on October 20, 2020, that federal idea called REAL ID will be required if you want to go into those airplanes or into those facilities and into those buildings,\u201d McMaster said. \u201cIn South Carolina, Colonel Shwedo has moved up the schedule and REAL ID cards are available now.\u201d<\/p>\n
In order to avoid long lines at the DMV, Shwedo says you can check wait times and buy IDs online. Also, six DMV locations in South Carolina are now open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
“Beat the line, buy online,” Shwedo said.<\/p>\n
A REAL ID costs $25 if you do not have a driver’s license. If you already have an ID, you can change it to a REAL ID for $5 if you’re age 5 to 16. If you’re 17 or older, it’s free. REAL IDs last for up to eight years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

The visual differences between the current and REAL ID are a gold star on the right side of the REAL ID and a label that reads \u201cnot for federal identification\u201d.<\/p>\n
