The Trump administration's implementation of the Real ID Act has made federally compliant identification mandatory for domestic flights, impacting millions of Americans. As of May 7, all US citizens over 18 must meet the new requirements, leading many to rush for compliant licenses. However, this reform has left noncitizens, including legal residents on visas and green cards, with concerns about travel implications. Originally enacted to boost security in response to the 9/11 attacks, the Real ID regulations have inadvertently introduced confusion and uncertainty among noncitizen populations.
