US EditionReal ID deadline approaches: TSA enforcement begins May 7
- Starting May 7, 2025, all U.S. Travelers 18 and older must present a federally accepted ID like Real ID or passport to board domestic flights.
- This enforcement follows the 2005 Real ID Act, prompted by the 9/11 Commission to enhance national security via standardized identification.
- States like New Jersey face high demand with no available appointments for Real ID, leading to added sessions called 'Real ID Tuesdays' starting May 20.
- TSA expects longer lines and advises early arrival, while some lawmakers have requested a six-month extension citing DMV struggles and potential public hardship.
- The deadline signals a shift to stricter ID requirements for federal facilities and air travel, possibly complicating access for certain populations and stressing agencies.
