DALLAS – U.S. residents who want to board an airplane for a domestic flight will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license by May 7. If their driver’s license is not REAL ID-compliant, they will need another form of approved identification, such as a passport to board their flight or enter a secure federal facility or military base. The REAL ID driver’s license and identification card has a small star in the upper right corner to indicate that the license meets federal regulations that establish minimum security standards.
