LARGO, MD (WUSA9) - At least 3.7 million drivers in Maryland will need to produce additional documents the next time they renew their driver's licenses or state IDs in order for the state to comply with the federal Real ID Act of 2005.
The first two weeks of the requirements that went into effect at the beginning of 2018 have gone smoothly, according to MVA officials.
Even so, it was not difficult to meet drivers who were caught by surprise when WUSA9 visited the MVA service center in Largo.
"I didn't get that information before I got here," said Lacelles Artllel as he waited in line for the second time to renew his license Wednesday.

Artllel needed to find his passport and other additional documents to prove his age and his address even though he has held a license in Maryland for 14 years.
"It cost me a couple of hours," Artllel said.

This is a "Racist" attempt to take licenses away from Illegals! Maryland has always allowed illegals to drive without insurance, and a real Maryland license. You can even be a real Marylander and have several DUI convictions and drive!
Thank You Miller / Busch and Democrats for making it difficult for legal / legit Marylanders and give illegals license.
They are getting ready to lock us down!
Honey, where is the tinfoil?
Federal act, but good try jackwagon.
Poor thing! Had to prove who you are, and from what country. Beats what MD has been doing. All you had to do to get an ID or driver's license before, was walk into our country, get to Maryland, got to the MVA and a Spanish speaking employee would be standing by to assist with getting an ID, or license, so that they could get started on all the welfare benefits and voting rights usually reserved for citizens.
MAGA! Thanks DJT
