Real ID requirements go into effect on May 7, 2025. This means that you will need a Real ID compliant license or ID, or other TSA approved document, to fly domestically and enter some Federal buildings. After May 7th, you will still be able to get a RealID or Enhanced license or ID if you so choose.

If your current driver's license or non-driver ID card has a black circle with a white star in the upper right corner, it is a Real ID. If your current driver's license or non-driver ID card has an American flag in the upper right corner, it is an Enhanced Driver's License or ID card. Both the Real ID and Enhanced documents meet Real ID requirements, and you can use these documents to board a domestic flight or access some Federal buildings. No further action is necessary until it's time to renew. Here is a list of TSA approved documents that also meet Real ID requirements: U.S. passport - book or card; State-issued Enhanced driver's license or non-driver ID card; State-issued Real ID driver's license or non-driver ID card; DHS trusted traveler cards (GlobalEntry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST); U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents; Permanent resident card; Border crossing card; An acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe, including Enhanced Tribal Cards (ETCs); HSPD-12 PIV card; Foreign government-issued passport; Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada card; Transportation worker identification credential; U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766); U.S. Merchant Mariner Credential; Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC).
