Real ID requirements started 20 years ago, which I suppose is “recent” in government terms, but not really. In some states everyone has already had a Real ID compliant license for years. In others, notably California, they’ve been kicking the can down the road the entire time.
Real ID hasn't been required at all. I still don't have one and I just got a new license last year.
OK have you watched the news at all lately?

Well this year supposedly they are finally going to be required at airports so it’s really real :-)
I mean, they say they're going to start enforcing RealID 'requirements' this month, but given how often it's been delayed, and the current executive, I think it's fair to wait and see.
It was on SNL so it must be finally true?
