Yes but they are all Real ID compliant. The Real ID Act isn't specifically about drivers licenses.

I didn't really mean you had to have the real ID driver's license, just that you have to have some form of compliant identification.

The thing is though, unless you're in the military or have some other form of federal government issued identification, your cheapest option is probably going to be to get the DL or state ID that's compliant.

Real id is no additional cost, so not really a waste of money. It's just added documentation.

Also it's required if you ever have to enter any secure federal property. It's not just travel. Courthouses, military installations and most federal agencies that require ID will require the real ID compliant document starting in May.

Edit: correction: real ID is no additional cost for CDL but $10 for regular licenses. That's dumb.
