West Virginia residents without a passport will need a REAL ID by October 1st, if they plan to travel by plane or enter a federal building. The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles said the Mountain State has been REAL ID compliant since 2012. The process is mapped out online, in a section of the DMV’s website. Check your driver’s license for a gold star to see if you’re already in compliance. The DMV encourages people to get it done soon. Due to an increase in demand, it could take up to 30-45 business days to get your license. There’s a $10 fee for mailing. The deadline is October 1st.
