The deadline for the Real ID drivers license is May 7, 2025.

Beginning May 7, 2025, the federal government will require you to present a REAL ID compliant driver's license or ID card, or another federally approved form of ID, in order to board a domestic flight or enter a secure federal facility or military base (some military bases may already require REAL ID or a federally approved form of ID*).
What do you need to apply for the Real ID?
1.Fill out the application online or at DMV.
2.Bring required documents to the DMV. These include:

One proof of identity.
Two proofs of Virginia residency.
One proof of legal presence.
Proof of your Social Security number (SSN), if you have been issued one. If you know your SSN, DMV can verify it electronically.
If your name appears differently on your proof documents: Proof of name change
$10 fee, plus the cost of the driver’s license or ID card you’re applying for. See fee chart.
Note: For example, a standard driver's license renewal costs $32, while a standard driver's license replacement costs $20.

All documents must be originals and not copies.
If you plan to travel, I encourage you to not wait to apply.
