Travelers without REAL ID compliance by the May 7 deadline can still fly but will face additional scrutiny, said Homeland Security head Kristi Noem in a Congressional testimony. Currently, 81% of travelers possess compliant identification, such as driver's licenses that meet REAL ID standards. Security will accept other forms such as passports and tribal IDs. Those lacking compliant IDs may need to proceed through a separate line at security, but efforts will be made to keep the process smooth and efficient.
Travelers who do not meet the REAL ID requirement by the May 7 deadline will still be permitted to fly, though they may face additional scrutiny at security checkpoints.
Homeland Security head Kristi Noem emphasized that travelers lacking REAL ID compliance could still board flights but may be redirected through an alternate line for further screening.
