Real ID to be enforced starting May 7
The enforcement date has not changed from May 7, 2025 and the rule finalized the two-year phased period in which agencies may begin card-based enforcement provisions.
It means that beginning May 7, Americans traveling domestically via commercial air will need a Real ID to board. According to the TSA, approximately 56 percent of driver’s licenses in circulation nationally are REAL ID-compliant. It adds that in 34 States, less than 60 percent of IDs in circulation are compliant, and, of those, 22 states have less than 40 percent compliancy. Here is the link to Real ID site.
