Beginning May 7, 2025, individuals 18 years of age and older will need a Real ID-compliant driver’s license or other approved form of identification to board commercial flights within the United States. A standard driver’s license will no longer be accepted at airport security checkpoints.
Alternative acceptable documents include:
- A Minnesota enhanced driver’s license
- A valid U.S. passport
- A valid foreign government-issued passport
REAL ID-compliant licenses feature a gold star in the upper corner.
Anyone planning to travel by air who does not yet have a REAL ID or alternative approved identification should begin the process or make alternative travel arrangements to avoid delays or disruptions.
