Does your driver's license have a star on it? Soon, travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant license to fly within the United States.
Newfangled driver's licenses with stars are, meaning that they are more secure than what were previously issued. The new rules were announced back in 2005, when Congress passed the
REAL ID Act on the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. The law is intended to create a national standard and make sure every state has a more secure driver's license. “TSA is doing everything we can to prepare our partners and the traveling public for the REAL ID deadline next year,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske in a statement. “The security requirements of the REAL ID Act will dramatically enhance and improve commercial aviation security.”
What does this mean for travelers? Beginning October 1, 2020, travelers who present a driver's license that is not REAL ID compliant will not be permitted to fly. They'll have toincludes a passport; a border ID card; a trusted traveler card, such as Global Entry; a permanent resident card; and other documents. The good news: If your license is currently star-less, you've got about 18 months to get an updated license.
The bad news: You need to visit a DMV office to do it and you may need to plan ahead. Getting a REAL ID requires additional paperwork, which you can find on your state's DMV website. For example, here's what the New York DMV website says:Proof of identity, such as valid license, birth certificate or passport, with your full first, middle and last name. This name, as it appears on your proof of identity, will be displayed on your card as required by federal law.
