<P> Each state must agree to share its motor vehicle database with all other states . This database must include, at a minimum, all the data printed on the state drivers' licenses and ID cards, plus drivers' histories (including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and points on licenses). </P> <P> Original legislation contained one of the most controversial elements which did not make it into the final legislation that was signed into law . It would have required states to sign a new compact known as the Driver License Agreement (DLA) as written by the Joint Driver's License Compact / Non-Resident Violators Compact Executive Board with staff support provided by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators AAMVA and as approved by state Driver Licensing Agency representatives . The DLA is a consolidation of the Driver's License Compact and the Non-Resident Violators Compact, which have 46 and 45 member states, respectively . The following controversial elements of the DLA are already in the existing compacts: a convicting state must report out - of - state convictions to the licensing state, states must grant license reciprocity to drivers licensed in other states, and states must allow authorities in other states access to driving records, consistent with the Driver Privacy Protection Act . </P> <P> The requirement in the law for interstate access to state license and ID data has not been included in the DHS criteria for certification of state compliance or progress toward compliance . </P> <P> The only system available with the capability to satisfy the REAL - ID Act requirements for database access is the "State to State" (S2S) system developed by the AAMVA and Clerus Solutions under contract with state motor vehicle licensing agencies ultimately funded by federal grants . A component of S2S is State Pointer Exchange Services (SPEXS), a central national database of "pointer" information about all REAL - ID compliant licenses and state ID cards . As of February, 2016, four states were participating in S2S . </P>
