REAL ID REQUIREMENT STARTING MAY 7TH

Starting May 7, 2025, you'll need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights or access certain federal facilities. 

Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:

• REAL ID Act:

  The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards. 

  
  

• Enforcement Date:

  Starting May 7, 2025, you won't be able to use a non-REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID to board a domestic flight or access certain federal facilities. 

  
  

• REAL ID-Compliant Options:

  Acceptable forms of identification include:

  • Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) 

  • Enhanced Identification Card (EID) 

  • U.S. Passport 

  • U.S. Passport Card 

  • U.S. Military ID 

  • Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) 

  • Federally recognized tribal-issued photo ID 

    
    

• What to do if you don't have a REAL ID:

  If you don't have a REAL ID-compliant license, you can use other acceptable forms of identification, such as a passport or a military ID, to fly or access federal facilities. 

  
  

• Check for REAL ID compliance:

  If your driver's license or state ID has a star (and/or flag) or says "Enhanced", it is already REAL ID-compliant.
