Starting May 7th, adult travelers need a REAL ID for domestic flights. This regulation, in effect for 20 years, aims to boost security. Without a REAL ID or alternative ID, a $45 fee may apply. TSA Confirm ID, a new security screening option, will launch in Feb 2026, charging $45 for additional identity checks. Over 94% of passengers already use a REAL ID or acceptable ID. REAL ID is a federal standard for state-issued IDs, created in 2005 to enhance security. Options for those without a REAL ID include a U.S. passport, passport card, or other approved documents. Plan ahead to avoid fees and ensure a smooth journey.
