Starting May 7, 2025, U.S. air travelers (including those flying domestically) who do not present a REAL ID-compliant license or acceptable alternative can expect to face delays, additional screening, and the possibility of not being permitted into the security checkpoint. If you don't have a state-issued REAL ID yet, a passport can also be used to meet this requirement.
