"Real ID Act"

" NOTE FROM THE ADJUTANT:

I was just advised that come January 1 2016, you will be required to have a special ID in order to fly in the continental US. Most states are going to be reissuing new licenses to all their residences to conform with this new ID requirement. But there are 4 states that voted down the reissuing of licenses because of the cost. NH is one of them. What does this mean if you want to travel and are a resident of NH. It means you will need to get a regular passport to comply with this new restriction or you cannot fly even if you are flying to one state from another.

Considering a lot of us have to fly at least 2 or 3 times a year, I recommend you apply for a passport now since the lead time in getting one can range from 4 to 12 weeks in some cases and I am sure there will be a lot of people in this state that will be rushing to get one now "
