ENFORCEMENT OF REAL ID TO BEGIN MAY 7TH
Anyone who will be taking a flight in the later half of this year will need to make sure that their ID is Real ID compliant.
According to the Missouri Department of Revenue, the federal Real ID enforcement deadline is May 7th.
Beginning that day residents of every U.S. state and territory will be required to present a REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card, or another form of ID accepted by the Transportation Security Administration, to board federally regulated domestic flights.
If you plan on flying in the future but do not want to apply for a REAL ID, you can present another Transportation Security Administration approved acceptable form of ID such as your U.S. passport.
Also beginning May 7th, individuals must present a REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card, or another form of acceptable ID, to access federal facilities and to enter nuclear power plants.
A Missouri-issued REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card will have a star in the upper right-hand corner.
