The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has mandated that starting May 7, 2025, travelers aged 18 and older must present a REAL ID-compliant identification or an approved alternative for domestic flights and entry into federal facilities. This requirement stems from the REAL ID Act passed in 2005 to enhance national security following the 9/11 Commission's recommendations. In New York City, the DMV is extending hours and launching initiatives like REAL ID Thursdays to ensure residents, especially in immigrant communities, can meet this new deadline.
The REAL ID Act, mandated to enhance national security, will be fully enforced starting May 7, 2025, necessitating compliant IDs for domestic flights.
In response to the impending REAL ID deadline, New York DMV is extending hours and implementing outreach programs to assist residents in obtaining compliant IDs.
