The upcoming deadline for the new Real ID requirements is set for May 7, after which Americans must present a Real ID to board domestic flights. A Real ID is a federally compliant form of identification, distinguished by a gold or black star, indicating it meets federal standards established by the REAL ID Act of 2005. This regulation, enacted post-9/11, aims to enhance security by standardizing state-issued driver's licenses and IDs to prevent identity fraud in aviation and federal services.
Starting May 7, Americans will need to have the new Real ID in place of a regular driver's license to board a domestic flight.
Real IDs are marked with a gold or black star in the upper right-hand corner, to indicate it meets the federal security standards set by the REAL ID Act.
