Changes to the TSA mean Americans will have to update their IDs. Does that mean bringing a passport for a domestic flight?
Do you need a passport or a driver's license to fly at the airport? Pretty soon, your current driver's license may not be enough to get you through security at the airport: As of October 1, 2020, every air traveler 18 or older will need a Real ID-compliant driver's license or another accepted form of ID to fly within the United States.
For anyone who wants to fly without a passport or other additional ID, that means getting a compliant license by next October.The Real ID Act updates the requirements for a driver's license to serve as a valid identification at airports and other federally regulated facilities. The goal is to set stricter security standards related to card design, processing and issuance.While the law was passed under President George W. Bush, it was largely ignored by the Obama White House.
With almost a year-and-a-half till the deadline, the TSA is currently ramping efforts to get the word out about the new IDs.
