Starting May 7, 2025, you’ll need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of identification (such as a passport) to fly within the U.S.
What You Need to Know:
• Check your driver’s license. A star in the upper corner usually means it’s REAL ID-compliant.
• If it’s not, visit your local DMV to upgrade it. You’ll need proof of identity, Social Security number, and two proofs of residency.
• Don’t wait until the last minute—DMV lines will get longer as the deadline nears.
Pro Tip: Even with a REAL ID, having a passport is always a good idea for added travel flexibility. Don’t risk missing your flight—plan ahead!
