Every adult traveler will need a Real ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card — or another TSA-acceptable form of identification — to get through airport security checkpoints by May 2025.

Many states’ identification card agencies extended expiration dates of driver’s licenses and identification cards due to the pandemic, or shifted to appointment-only availability, which affected operations. Under the latest update, every traveler 18 or older will need a Real ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card — or another Transportation Security Administration-acceptable form of identification — to get through airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel beginning May 7, 2025.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
