PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
To all my US friends traveling by airplane, starting May 7th you need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card, or an acceptable alternative such as a passport, to board domestic flights or enter certain federal facilities.
For children under 18 traveling with a companion on domestic flights, identification is not required.
The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act’s minimum standards.
