According to the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) website, individuals who do not have a U.S. passport, do not visit military bases, or do not use airplanes for domestic transportation do not need a Real ID. Those who lack a passport or passport card but fly, visit military bases, or secure federal facilities must obtain a Real ID. All driver services facilities are issuing Real ID cards.

Starting May 7, 2025, the Transportation Safety Administration will require either a Real ID or a valid passport for air travel. The new deadline for the Real ID program was announced on May 1. The program itself was created in 2005 but has been delayed over the years due to backlogs at DMV facilities, according to MyStateline.com. The Real ID Act was passed in response to the September 11 attacks.

Rezin was appointed to the State Senate in December 2010 and has continuously served the people of the 38th Senate District. In 2021, she was selected as Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate Republican Caucus. In 2015, she collaborated with local employers to establish an Operations Engineering and Technician technical program at Joliet Junior College. She holds a degree in International Business and Political Science from Augustana College and has co-owned and managed her family’s real estate company, according to her official biography.
