New TV Ad: "No, Really" Campaign
Our latest TV spot is live! Part of the "No, Really" campaign, the ad highlights the real consequences of missing the May 7 deadline—like missing a family trip because you don't have a REAL ID. Click here to watch the TV ad.
Reminder: REAL ID Requirements Starting May 7
Starting May 7, travelers must present a REAL ID-compliant license or another accepted ID, like a passport, to board flights or enter certain federal facilities. REAL ID will also be required for enrolling in TSA PreCheck and CLEAR.
Key reminders for customers:
- REAL ID is only needed for flying or federal facility access
- Standard licenses still work for driving, voting and general ID
- Use the REAL ID Checklist and bring the correct documents (proof of identity, two proofs of residency and any name change/legal presence documents)
More details are available at service.ok.gov/REALID.
We’ll be back next week with another update during REAL ID deadline week.
Until then, let’s keep it going—No, Really.
