In Alaska, only 34% of registered drivers or identity card holders have switched over to Real IDs. Part of the challenge is that many rural Alaska communities don’t have a DMV.
A poster informs people of the availability of the Alaska Real ID in 2019 at the Anchorage DMV office.
That counts Alaska among the 22 states with the lowest compliance rate, or less than 40%, according to Homeland Security numbers. Dan Winkelman, president and CEO of Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corp., has been sounding the alarm on equitable access to Real ID cards for rural Alaskans since the program first rolled out in Alaska in. He has twice sent letters to Gov. Mike Dunleavy, asking staff from Alaska’s Department of Motor Vehicles to visit the health corporation’s 30,000 clients who live in 50 remote, largely Alaska Native villages across Southwest Alaska, to ease access for Real IDs.
Just last year, Paul said he was medevaced to the hospital in Bethel for a medical emergency, a necessary trip that could become more challenging for many of his family and community members come May. Since 2020, the corporation has brought DMV staff to four Bering Sea communities, and issued 266 residents Real IDs, according to Carol Wren, senior vice president of shareholder development.
