TRAVEL MATTERS
TSA Reminds Travelers of REAL ID Identification
Requirements
The Transportation Security Administration
is reminding travelers that beginning October 1, 2020, every traveler must present a REAL ID- compliant driver’s license, or another acceptable form of identification, to fly within the United States. TSA has launched a public awareness campaign about the upcoming identification changes to ensure that every traveler is prepared for the airport security checkpoint process when the REAL ID Act goes into full enforcement.
Travelers will begin seeing new signs at airports nationwide in the coming weeks to remind people that REAL ID-compliant licenses or other acceptable forms of ID, such as a
valid passport, federal government PIV card
or U.S. military ID, will be mandatory for air travel beginning on October 1, 2020. Critically important, on October 1, 2020, individuals who are unable to verify their identity will not be permitted to enter the TSA checkpoint and
will not be allowed to fly.
REAL ID-compliant licenses are generally marked by a star on the top of the card. Travelers who are not sure if their ID is
Enforcement begins in 11 months at all U.S. airport checkpoints
compliant should check with their state driver’s license agency.
Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID
Act complies with the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the federal government “set standards for the issuance of sources
of identification, such as driver’s licenses.”
The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses
and identification cards and prohibits
federal agencies from accepting licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards for official purposes, such as
at airport security checkpoints. The regulations established the deadline of October 1, 2020
to ensure full enforcement of the REAL ID Act
by that date. States have made considerable progress in meeting this key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission and every state has a more secure driver’s license today than before the passage of the Act.
