REAL ID enforcement starts this week: 5 things to know
(NEXSTAR) — After several delays, the REAL ID enforcement deadline is here. Starting Wednesday, you'll need a compliant identification card to board a domestic flight and enter certain federal facilities.
Enforcement of the ID requirement, which stems back to legislation passed following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, officially begins on Wednesday, May 7.
Here are five things to know before the REAL ID deadline takes effect.
Do I have a REAL ID?
Before you schedule a trip to your DMV, check your wallet: you may already have a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state identification card. Many states have been issuing compliant cards for years.
If there is a star on your driver’s license or state ID card, you have a REAL ID-compliant card. The star may be black or gold, completely filled in or just the outline. Either way, you're compliant.
