"Identity verification is foundational to security," said TSA's administrator, David Pekokse. "I urge those who use a driver's license or state-issued identity card... to ensure these credentials are REAL ID-compliant."
Real ID-compliant identification is being issued by all 50 U.S. states and territories, characterized by a star or cutout in the corner, indicating compliance.
The implementation of the Real ID Act has faced delays, initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then for other regulatory reasons.
Although the deadline is May 7, 2025, a phased transition will lead to full enforcement starting May 5, 2027, ensuring adequate public preparation.
