With the looming May 7, 2025 deadline, anyone 18 or older must secure a REAL ID or passport to travel domestically and gain federal building access. California residents need one identity proof document in original or certified form, along with two documents for state residency.

While online application processes are available, an in-person visit to a DMV office remains essential for completion. It’s important to still have a passport for international travel.
