Do you have a REAL ID? Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a state-issued REAL ID-compliant license or identification card, enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID (such as a passport), to fly within the United States. REAL ID-compliant cards are marked with a star at the top. Guests can also visit the DHS REAL ID website and click on their state on the map or visit www.tsa.gov.
