ATTENTION Travelers:
The Real ID Act will take effect on May 7, 2025. What does this mean for you?
In the past, a regular state issued driver’s license was an acceptable form of ID for domestic air travel. After May 7, each passenger will need a FEDERAL driver’s license to fly domestically or enter certain federal facilities.
The difference between a Federal ID and a regular driver’s license is that the Federal ID has a star on it, and you would have likely needed to send away for your new license.
If passengers do not have a Federal ID, they will need to present a passport at the airport for domestic air travel.
The enforcement of the Real ID Act has been a long time coming, but as of May 7, it will be here. Passengers must present the proper ID to board their flight. Failure to present proper ID will result in denied boarding. No refund will be given due to failure to present the proper ID for domestic air travel.
If you have any questions about this, please refer to the DHS website for complete information: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id
