MAY 7, 2025 IS THE DAY!! ARE YOU READY ❓
Chances are you’ve heard about the Real ID 🪪— maybe you already have one. The gist is that starting 🗓️ May 7, 2025, every 🇺🇸U.S. citizen who is 18 years and older will need a Real ID or approved alternative to fly domestically (WITHIN THE USA). If you don't have one, you’ll be denied entry at TSA checkpoints (which means at the airport ✈️ you won't be able to get to the gates to get onto your plane).
🛂 Using Your Passport Instead of a Real ID
If you don’t have a Real ID, you can use your passport book or passport card to travel. The FAQs section of the Real ID website states: “The Act does not … prohibit an agency from accepting other forms of identity documents (such as a U.S. passport or passport card).”
Keep in mind, the REAL ID or the US PASSPORT CARD is ⛔️ not interchangeable for a US Passport BOOK when traveling OUTSIDE the USA to a foreign country. You must have the PASSPORT BOOK!!
