Oregonians planning to travel internationally this summer, or who are using a passport in place of a Real ID, should be checking their passport's expiration date. U.S. passports are valid for 10 years. They grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry into 170 countries, making them among the most powerful passports in the world. But knowing when your passport expires is important because some countries will not allow entry if a passport is near its expiration date.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was operating smoothly with no major issues on the first day of Real ID enforcement. After years of delays, the Real ID Act of 2005, enacted after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, went into effect nationwide on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Travelers now need to show a security-enhanced driver's license or other Real ID-compliant document to pass airport security or enter federal buildings.
