🚨 REAL ID Deadline Approaching: Are You Ready to Fly? ✈️
Starting May 7, 2025, all travelers 18 and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced ID, or another approved form of identification to board domestic flights in the U.S.
💡 How to Check if You Have a REAL ID:
✔️ Look for a star in the top right corner of your driver’s license.
✔️ If there’s no star, you may need to update your ID at your local DMV.
📌 Other Acceptable Forms of ID Include:
✅ Passport
✅ U.S. Military ID
✅ DHS Trusted Traveler Cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI)
Children under 18 years old do not need a REAL ID to fly domestically within the U.S. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not require minors to carry identification when traveling with an adult.
However, the accompanying adult must have a REAL ID or another approved form of identification starting May 7, 2025.
For international travel, children do need a passport regardless of age.
