"A driver's license is officially no longer enough to fly within the US without paying a fee. The TSA is now charging travelers $45 if they show up without a REAL ID, passport, or Green Card. The new fee will apply only to domestic travelers. While a driver's license will still get you on a domestic flight, it will now cost you."
"The Transportation Security Administration is now charging $45 at security checkpoints if travelers show up without a REAL ID or other acceptable government-issued ID, such as a passport or permanent resident card, when boarding domestic flights. The fee covers the cost of verifying your ID using the TSA's new ConfirmID system. The TSA said the fee covers a 10-day travel period."
The TSA will charge a $45 fee at security checkpoints for domestic travelers who arrive without a REAL ID, passport, or permanent resident card. The fee pays for identity verification through the TSA's ConfirmID biometric system and covers a ten-day travel period. About 94% of passengers nationwide already use REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification. The agency expects longer wait times for travelers who lack approved ID. The TSA had earlier proposed an $18 fee for ConfirmID. REAL ID requirements began rolling out in 2025, and travelers were reminded to be ready by February 1.
