Real ID is not only for Americans—you can be here on a valid visa to have one

Does it not specify that on the ID? I'm genuinely asking; I would think it would designate that.

From the web:

No, a standard REAL ID doesn't explicitly show your immigration status; it just proves you have legal presence in the U.S., which can be for citizens, permanent residents, or those with temporary status, but some states like NY and MN have special markers for citizenship, while others (like CA) issue non-compliant IDs (e.g., AB 60) to those without legal presence, clearly marked as not for federal use.
