A new form of identification, the REAL ID, will be enforced starting May 7, necessitating it for domestic air travel. Applicants can receive a REAL ID on the same day if they have the required documentation at a DMV. Although it remains possible to get a REAL ID after the deadline, travelers without an appropriate identification may face significant delays at airport security. The process mandates a physical visit to a designated office, and those unable to verify their identity will not be allowed to pass security checkpoints.
You can apply and receive a REAL ID the same day. That means if you wait at a DMV and have your paperwork in order, you can walk away with the new identification.
If the May 7 enforcement deadline has passed, you can still get a REAL ID. But if you go to the airport without a Real ID, passport or another acceptable piece of identification, the Department of Homeland Security warns you can expect delays.
Customers must visit an office to become REAL ID compliant the first time, according to the Florida department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
People whose identity cannot be confirmed or who refuse to complete the additional screening will not be able to pass through airport security, according to the TSA.
