A Real ID will soon be mandatory for domestic flights.
The article from Yahoo News discusses the upcoming enforcement of the REAL ID Act, set to take effect on May 7, 2025, which will require travelers to use a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights within the United States. The REAL ID Act was passed in 2005 to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards, aiming to prevent identity fraud and enhance national security. The article emphasizes the importance of travelers checking their current identification to ensure compliance, as non-compliant IDs will not be accepted for boarding flights after the deadline. It also provides information on how to obtain a REAL ID, noting that the process varies by state but generally involves visiting a local DMV with required documentation.
