Free Krispy Kreme doughnuts today for REAL ID deadline: How to get yours
On Wednesday, May 7, all guests can get one free Original Glazed doughnut all day in-shop or via the drive-thru at participating shops, according to a release Friday. There is a limit of one per guest but no purchase, or ID, is necessary.
'The DMV can be stressful enough in normal times, but we know May 7 is going to be 'next level' stress for many Americans trying to get their REAL ID,' said Dave Skena, Chief Growth Officer of Krispy Kreme.
'So, we're going to keep this simple. Come by on May 7 and have a free Original Glazed doughnut on us, no REAL ID – or any ID – required,' Skena said.
What is REAL ID?
Florida drivers licenses and state-issued IDs that are REAL ID compliant have white stars in gold circles at the top right.
As of May 7, a REAL ID-compliant ID or other authorized identification will be required to board a commercial flight in the United States, or to enter many federal facilities, military facilities and nuclear power plants.
The Real ID Act, passed in 2005, established minimum security standards for getting a license anywhere across the country and prohibited some federal agencies from accepting anything less, following recommendations from the 9/11 Commission.
What does a REAL ID look like? How can I tell if I have it?
If you've received a new or renewed Florida driver's license or ID since January 2010, you already have one. You can tell by looking for a gold circle with a white star in the middle at the upper right of the card.
How do I get a REAL ID in Florida?
You'll need to make an appointment at a local driver's license service center or tax collector office to get a new card. Locations can be found here.
A Class E license can be renewed up to 18 months prior to the card's expiration date.
If you don't have one, you must appear in person to present identification documents. After that, you can renew online unless your name changes.
Where can I find Krispy Kreme stores near me in Florida?
There are 32 Krispy Kreme locations in the Sunshine State, in 24 cities. Here's the list.

Arkansas could see sharp jump in car insurance rates
Car insurance rates could rise more by the end of the year with tariffs than without them, and Arkansas could be one of the most affected states, a new projection finds. Why it matters: The analysis shows one more way that Americans pay for higher tariffs. Driving the news: The nationwide average annual cost of full-coverage car insurance could rise by 7% between June and December if tariffs stay in effect, compared to 4% otherwise, per a new report from insurance-comparison platform Insurify. In raw terms, the average cost could hit $2,472 with tariffs, compared to $2,402 without them. That's based on the tariff picture as of Aug. 1, reflecting the Trump administration's recently lowered rates on cars and auto parts from Japan, South Korea and Europe. Zoom in: Arkansas could see a 9% increase with tariffs or a 6.1% increase without by year's end. Several states with relatively large expected increases for the rest of the year recently saw costs dip, giving them more room for growth. Between the lines: Tariffs affect insurance rates by increasing the costs of imported parts needed for repairs. Inflation, accident frequency, and claims due to extreme weather also impact rates, among other factors. What they're saying: "Initially, car insurance companies looked at 2025 as a year to keep insurance rates stable, or even cut them," per Insurify's report. "Tariffs and inflation could derail that trend." Claims volume could also fall, and insurance regulators could fight price hikes. How it works: Insurify's projections are based on over 97 million rates from the insurance companies it works with, and reflect median costs for drivers age 20-70 with clean records and at least average credit.

Nobody's Buying Homes, Nobody's Switching Jobs—and America's Mobility Is Stalling
Americans are stuck in place. People are moving to new homes and new cities at around the lowest rate on record. Companies have fewer roles for entry-level workers trying to launch their lives. Workers who do have jobs are hanging on to them. Economists worry the phenomenon is putting some of the country's trademark dynamism at risk.
