Deadline to Get New REAL ID Less Than Sixty Days Away

Tuesday, March 11th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

The deadline to get a new REAL ID is officially less than sixty days away.

AAA Spokesperson Brynna Knapp says the REAL ID will look almost exactly like your standard ID card, except that it’s marked with a star in the upper corner of the card. Starting May 7th, you’ll need a REAL ID in order to fly domestically, or to enter certain federal buildings.

You can apply for a REAL ID in person at a Department of Motor Vehicle location, or pre-apply online. More information can be found on the DMV’s website.
