Starting tomorrow, May 7, 2025, US travelers are expected to have a Real ID (or other acceptable form of identification) for all domestic flights. If you're headed to the airport without your Real ID, you'll still be able to fly. However, your TSA checks might take more time.

Seriously, if you don't have your Real ID yet, your TSA checks might become more complicated soon. Starting tomorrow, May 7, 2025, all US travelers must have a Real ID (or other acceptable form of identification) for all domestic flights. The Real ID deadline has been extended multiple times, but this day seems to be sticking. If you are planning on flying this summer or just traveling in general by plane soon, make sure your driver's license is compliant with the new regulations.
