✈️ REAL ID Now Required for Domestic Flights

As of May 7, 2025, standard state-issued driver's licenses or ID cards are no longer accepted at TSA checkpoints for domestic air travel. To board a flight within the U.S., you now need one of the following:

  • A REAL ID (look for a star in the top corner)

  • A U.S. passport or passport card

  • A DHS Trusted Traveler card (e.g., Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)

  • A U.S. military ID

  • A Permanent Resident Card

  • Other TSA-approved forms of identification

📌 For the full list of acceptable IDs and more details, visit the official TSA site:

If you're unsure whether your ID is compliant, check with your state's DMV or refer to the TSA link above. Don't let outdated ID disrupt your travel plans—double-check before you fly!
