U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Brandon Melencio, 7th Security Forces Squadron member, checks a visitor’s pass at the Arnold Gate, March 22, 2016, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Under the REAL ID Act, all federal and state identification must meet certain standards to ensure they are credible. More than 30 states and territories, including Texas, are not in compliance with the act and cardholders of those areas could soon face difficulty accessing military installations.
