Oklahoma ID's will remain valid for another year

Good news for travelers and people who frequent federal government buildings.

Gov. Mary Fallin announced on Friday the federal government will continue to recognize Oklahoma driver's licenses and identification cards for at least another year. This means state licenses can still be used to board flights and to enter federal government buildings.

Currently, Oklahoma is said to be in compliance with 30 of the 43 requirements under the REAL ID Act.  The law was passed by congress back in 2005 to make driver's licenses harder to forge.

At this point, how long do you think it will take for the state to become compliant?  Let us know in the comments.
