Great Information on the Transportation Security Administration - TSA page! If you are like to travel, I recommend you follow their page! They post some funny stuff too 😎

Does your child need a REAL ID to fly? Here’s what parents should know:

Good news – children under 18 DO NOT need a REAL ID to fly domestically if they’re traveling with an adult who has an acceptable form of ID.

However, if your teen plans to fly unaccompanied AND they have TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass, they will need a REAL ID or another form of acceptable ID (like a passport) to receive expedited screening.

Learn more about REAL ID, including info on how to get one: www.tsa.gov/real-id
