"Beginning Feb. 1, travelers 18 and older flying domestically without a REAL ID and who don't have another accepted form of ID on them, such as a passport, will pay the non-refundable fee to verify their identity through TSA's alternative "Confirm.ID" system. TSA officials said that paying the fee does not guarantee verification, and travelers whose identities cannot be verified may be turned away. If approved, however, the verification covers a 10-day travel period."
"The TSA initially proposed an $18 charge for passengers without a REAL ID, but officials said Monday they raised it after realizing the alternative identification program would cost more than anticipated. Other acceptable forms of ID include military IDs, permanent resident cards and photo IDs from federally recognized tribal nations. TSA also accepts digital IDs through platforms such as Apple Wallet"
Beginning Feb. 1, travelers 18 and older flying domestically without a REAL ID and lacking another accepted form of ID will pay a $45 non-refundable fee to verify identity through TSA's Confirm.ID system. REAL ID requires additional documentation at motor vehicle agencies and is marked by a white star in a yellow circle; 94% of passengers are already compliant. The fee can be paid online before arrival or at the airport, with the airport process possibly taking up to 30 minutes. Payment does not guarantee verification; travelers who cannot be verified may be turned away. Approved verifications cover a 10-day travel period. Other accepted IDs include passports, military IDs, permanent resident cards, tribal photo IDs, and digital IDs such as Apple Wallet.
