       REAL ID Deadline

       Countdown: One Year To Go!


          The clock is ticking!
       Starting Oct. 1, 2020, every
       U.S. resident must present
       a REAL ID driver’s license
       or state ID card to board
       commercial flights or enter
       federal buildings.
          Do you have a REAL
       ID driver’s license or state
       ID card? If your credential is missing a star in the upper
       right corner, you are not REAL ID compliant. Please visit
       www.pbctax.com for a checklist of required documents
       and schedule an appointment at least 90 days before your
       credential expires.
