Travelers need to be aware that the May 7, 2025 deadline for obtaining a REAL ID is definite, and without it, they may face delays at security checkpoints.
The TSA's proposed transition period aims to alleviate potential rushes for REAL ID applications by allowing phased enforcement, helping to reduce congestion and improve airport security.
As of January, only 56% of state IDs were compliant with REAL ID standards, prompting concerns about delays and security risks for travelers at airports.
Children under 18 are exempt from the REAL ID requirement when traveling domestically with an adult who has an acceptable form of identification.
