Many states started issuing REAL ID compliant IDs way back in 2008 or 2010. I don't know state-by-state if maybe some states dragged their feet. Just look for the star on the upper-right.

According to https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs where I got my "facts"

Q: Are all states issuing REAL ID compliant cards?

A: Yes. All states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 territories are REAL ID compliant and issuing REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses and IDs.

last year i lost my license and had a new one made - it says "not for federal purposes" in the spot where the star should be.

the point of real ID is to prove who you are by bringing in additional documents to prove your identity.

you need to bring a LOT of documents. like an absurd amount. there are entire websites with interactive guides that help you decide if you have enough documents for real ID.
