Picture this: It’s May 2025. You’re packed, excited, and heading to the airport for your long-awaited getaway. You roll up to the TSA checkpoint, hand over your driver’s license… and suddenly, your dream vacation comes to a screeching halt. 🚫
Why? Because your ID isn’t REAL enough.
What’s Changing?
Starting May 7, 2025, you’ll need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license to board a domestic flight in the U.S. If your license doesn’t have a star on a black background (in Kentucky), TSA will kindly ask you to turn around and rethink your life choices. 😬
But don’t panic—I’ve got you covered! Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Flying Within the U.S.? You’ll need either a REAL ID or a valid passport.🌴 Flying to the Caribbean (or anywhere international)? A REAL ID won’t work—you must have a passport.
How Do You Get a REAL ID?
If your current driver’s license doesn’t have that all-important ⭐, you’ll need to upgrade. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Gather your documents: Proof of identity (like a birth certificate or passport), proof of Social Security number, and two proofs of residency (like a utility bill or bank statement).
2️⃣ Head to your local DMV (but maybe bring a book because... DMV lines 🙃)
.3️⃣ Get your REAL ID and breathe easy knowing your travel plans are safe!
💡 Pro tip: If you already have a valid passport, you don’t need a REAL ID for domestic flights—but it’s still good to have!

I’d hate for you to be that person at TSA, frantically Googling “Can I fly without a REAL ID?” while your plane takes off without you.
So take a minute today—pull out your driver’s license and check for the ⭐.
