You now have under a month to get your REAL ID. Here is where to go in Palm Beach County
Planning on traveling this spring and summer season? Make sure there's a little gold star on your driver's license before you head to the airport. Starting just under a month from now on May 7, every traveler over the age of 18 must present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card (or a valid passport or passport card) to board a commercial aircraft within the United States.

A Real ID is a federally approved, state-issued driver's license or ID that meets new security standards enacted by Congress after 9/11. The deadline was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2005, after the 9/11 Commission recommended that the federal government set standards for identification, such as driver's licenses, Congress passed the Real ID Act. The act established minimum security standards for getting a license anywhere across the country and prohibited some federal agencies from accepting anything less. The Real ID Act became effective nationwide on May 11, 2008. Florida began issuing REAL ID-compliant credentials after Jan. 4, 2010. As of May 7, 2025, Real ID-compliant identification or a valid passport or passport card will be required for any adult U.S. resident to: Board federally regulated commercial aircraft Access federal government facilities or military installations Enter nuclear power plants Fortunately, you probably already have one.
