REAL ID Questions & Answers

Jun 11 2025

REAL ID implementation and compliance are really, finally, here.

Before you fly, here are questions SGF passengers keep asking. We've got your answers.

Can I fly with the paper copy from the DMV?
  • Yes, please bring your previous old driver's license as well.
Do the same rules apply at all airports?
  • TSA REAL ID identification requirements are universal at all airports in the United States.
What other documents can I provide?
  • A passport, global entry card and Department of Defense ID are acceptable as REAL ID. Social Security cards and birth certificates are not an acceptable document.
What if I don't have the REAL ID at all or can't get one?
  • You will be able to fly, but be advised that you could expect delays, so arrive a minimum of two hours prior to departure. Expect additional screening.
