Starting May 7, 2025, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will require travelers to present a REAL ID-compliant license or another form of acceptable identification to pass through airport security checkpoints.

To learn more about REAL ID, including how to obtain one and answers to common questions, visit the REAL ID FAQ page from the Department of Homeland Security.
