HB 1445 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

requiring the issuance of enhanced drivers licenses and Real ID compliant cards for border crossing and proof of citizenship.

HB 1445 requires New Hampshire to issue enhanced driver licenses and Real ID-compliant cards specifically for border crossings. It affects U.S. citizens who are New Hampshire residents and need to cross U.S. borders by land or sea. The bill amends state laws to mandate that the Department of Motor Vehicles provide these cards as proof of identity and citizenship for border entry. This would allow residents to use these cards instead of standard IDs when crossing borders, aligning with federal requirements.
