Travelers not compliant with the Real ID requirements can still board flights, but with increased scrutiny. 81% of travelers possess compliant forms of identification. Alternatives like passports, Department of Defense IDs, and permanent resident cards will also suffice. The Real ID law, aimed at increasing identification security, was established following 9/11 recommendations but has faced delays since its proposed rollout in 2008. Eventually, these IDs will also be necessary for access to federal facilities. Homeland Security is urging compliance for seamless travel experiences, marking the importance of these security measures.
"Travelers who aren't Real ID compliant will still be able to fly but should expect extra scrutiny, as only 81% of IDs meet the requirements."
"Real ID is a federally compliant state-issued license designed to enhance security as per 9/11 Commission recommendations, although its rollout has faced delays."
