The Illinois Secretary of State’s office says by 2020 it could cost Illinois taxpayers about $10 million a year to comply with an unfunded federal identification mandate.

Illinois is moving toward complying with the federal REAL ID Act. The new standards beginning this summer mean Illinoisans will be issued a temporary ID. They’ll then have to wait up to two weeks for their new ID card while security checks are conducted. Secretary of State Press Secretary Dave Druker (druh-ker) says the temporary IDs will be accepted for air travel. Druker said initially these changes will cost taxpayers about $6 million a year

“Come 2020, it could reach the point of $10 million a year for a max of four years. Hopefully, by that time, there will be a budget,” Drucker said.

The new standards will begin at the end of July.
