The sourcing is consequently poor, and it would be difficult to find better sources for such an obscure topic. Today, "PASS ID" more commonly refers to member numbers issued by DHS in its [[Trusted Traveler Programs]], so the existence of this outdated article about a tangentially related topic is fairly confusing.}} ~~~~ |
PASS ID (S. 1261) is a proposed U.S. law intended to replace REAL ID. Like REAL ID, it implements federal standards for state identification documents. Currently, states are not obligated to follow the standards, but if PASS ID takes full effect, federal agencies will only accept identification from states that materially comply with the law. Citizens from non-compliant states would need to provide federally issued documents such as a social security card or U.S. passport in order to enter federally owned buildings.[citation needed]
PASS ID would eliminate REAL ID requirements that are considered excessive, such as the obligation to verify birth certificates with the issuing department, and shared national databases. However, critics charge PASS ID will still require the storage of digital records of documents proving citizenship, such as birth certificates. It may also permit technology like RFID to be incorporated into drivers' licenses.[1]
