Persons that renew their standard driver's license or identification online between (a) June 12, 2020 and (b) the earlier of the date on which this Order is rescinded or the date on which the state of emergency ends, are eligible to receive a fee waiver to upgrade to a REAL ID driver's license or identification; provided, that their application for a REAL ID driver's license or identification card is submitted at least 6 months after the date on which the state of emergency ends.
