Real ID is being implemented by an international organization, AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators). AAMVA is named the "hub" and "backbone" of the Real ID Act 2005 by the Department of Homeland Security. http://www.eff.org/files/filenode/realid/real_id_final_rule_part1_2008-01-11.pdf page 18 of the PDF document.
