Before you know it, the REAL ID Act will go into effect. Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. I want to provide you with this resource for your needs.
What is a REAL ID?
REAL ID-compliant cards will have one of the below markings on the upper top portion of the card. If the card does not have one of these markings, it is not REAL ID compliant and will not be accepted as proof of identity to board commercial aircraft.
Where You’ll Need It
Certain federal facilities
Airports: Boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft
Please note: At this time, the cruise lines will not require its guests to have a REAL ID, however, anyone flying at any point during their travels will need it.
