Summary: If you’re one of the many travelers wondering if you need a REAL ID, find out today.

In the wake of the pandemic, the Department of Homeland Security has extended the deadline to obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card to May 3, 2023.

The initiative, which launched in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is designed to increase security measures needed to fly on domestic, commercial flights and enter certain Federal facilities.

While most Americans may not frequent Federal facilities, the ability to pack their bags and take off toward their next adventure is a top priority for many travel-loving Americans. Without a REAL ID-compliant identification card, TSA will not permit you through airport security.

Use Homeland Security’s interactive tool to find out you’re REAL ID ready today.

Are you REAL ID ready?
