Idaho's Federally-Compliant 'Star Card' Can Wait Another Year

The federal law requiring special identification to board flights or enter federal buildings was supposed to go into effect this October. But due to coronavirus, which closed DMVs across the country, the deadline for obtaining this type of ID card has been pushed until October of 2021. 

Idahoans now have over a year to get Idaho’s federally compliant card, the Star Card. Joining Idaho Matters live today to talk about how the state is adapting are Alberto Gonzalez and Vince Trimboli with the Idaho Transportation Department. 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
