The US federal government has yet again delayed nationwide security requirements for driver’s licenses and other identification cards, giving states more time to issue REAL IDs to residents.
If you’ve been sweating out that latest deadline for REAL ID required for US air travel, you’re getting another reprieve.
The US federal government has yet again delayed nationwide security requirements for driver’s licenses and other identification cards, giving states more time to issue REAL IDs to residents.
The identification requirements were expected to kick in this coming spring. But they will be delayed another two years until May 7, 2025. That’s another 883 days away.
Once the new deadline is reached, US travelers 18 and older and taking domestic commercial flights in the United States must have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or other state photo identity card.
It’s marked by a star on the top of the card. Passports and other forms of approved identification will still be accepted.
