PennDOT is now warning drivers to get their documents ready to apply for the Real ID.

The federal standard was created in 2005 to prevent terrorism.

PennDOT hopes to process those documents, which include a passport or birth certificate, Social Security card and two proofs of address in September.

The Real IDs will be issued in 2019.
