The TSA will start charging a $45 fee for domestic air travel for passengers without a REAL ID or other acceptable identification, beginning on February 1, 2026. This fee applies to those who arrive at airport security without a compliant ID and choose to use the new TSA Confirm.ID system to verify their identity, which will be valid for 10 days. The TSA recommends that travelers get a REAL ID or another acceptable form of ID before the deadline to avoid this fee and potential delays.
Start date: The new policy goes into effect on February 1, 2026.
Cost: The fee for using the alternative identity verification system is $45.
Purpose: The fee is for travelers who do not have a REAL ID or a U.S. passport and want to fly domestically.
What it covers: The fee allows a traveler 10 days of access to security checkpoints through the TSA Confirm.ID system.
Recommendation: The TSA urges travelers to get a REAL ID or another acceptable form of ID to avoid the fee and potential delays at the airport.
Other acceptable IDs: Acceptable forms of identification include a U.S. passport, a U.S. passport card, DHS trusted traveler cards, or a Permanent Resident Card.
