All airline travelers who use TSA ConfirmID will be subject to additional ID verification, screening measures and potential delays. Travelers who appear at the TSA checkpoint without a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID and have not already paid the TSA ConfirmID fee will be subject to additional delays which may result in a missed flight. It is important that airline travelers plan ahead to ensure they have an acceptable form of ID to avoid these additional delays as the process can take up to 30 minutes.
TSA’s full list of acceptable forms of ID can be found at TSA.gov/travel/security-screening/identification. Individuals with an acceptable form of ID do not need to use TSA ConfirmID. Travelers who are unsure if their ID is REAL ID compliant should check their state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
For more information on REAL ID, please visit TSA.gov/real-id or text 275-872 (“AskTSA”) anytime with questions, call the TSA Contact Center at 866-289-9673, or submit inquiries at www.tsa.gov/email.
The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards.
