Heads Up, Domestic Flyers in the USA! 🇺🇸
Important news if you're planning to fly within the United States starting July 5th, 2025. Take a moment today to check your driver's license or state ID!
Is Your ID Ready to Fly?
From that date forward, only driver's licenses and ID cards with the REAL ID symbol will be accepted for:
- Boarding domestic flights (traveling within the US)
- Entering federal buildings that require security checks
What Exactly is a REAL ID?
It's an ID card or driver's license that has a gold star inside a circle, usually located in the upper right-hand corner of the card.
If your current ID doesn't have this star, you won't be able to board domestic flights unless you present a valid passport.
Need to Upgrade to a REAL ID?
If you need to obtain a REAL ID-compliant license, here's how:
- Schedule an appointment at your state's DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles).
- Bring original documents such as your passport, green card, birth certificate, and proof of address.
Plan Ahead!
Getting your REAL ID now will help you avoid potential travel hassles, especially during busy summer and holiday travel seasons when airports are jam-packed.
