Tap title to read story
Starting May 7th, travelers need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or alternative identification for domestic flights. The REAL ID rollout, delayed since 2008, has caused long wait times at DMVs nationwide. While approximately 61% of licenses are compliant, TSA advises those without REAL IDs to expect delays or denial of boarding. DMVs are offering extended hours and appointments, while AAA may also provide assistance. Passports remain a valid alternative.
