Charleston International Airport prepares to enforce REAL ID, deadline May 7
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The REAL ID deadline is May 7, and Charleston International Airport is preparing to enforce it. Long lines and wait times could be seen across South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) locations as residents hoped to beat the rush of the deadline. Those who are flying, visiting a military base, or entering a federal building after Wednesday must have a compliant form of identification. On May 6, South Carolina airports will begin a 'soft approach' on REAL IDs. You'll need a REAL ID to fly in 2025. Here's how to get one in South Carolina 'The foremost thing is to hopefully come to the checkpoint being compliant. The good way to check your driver's license is to look for a gold star in the upper right-hand corner,' David McMahon, federal security director for TSA, said. 'For us here in Charleston, most of our residents here are REAL ID compliant. We do have a small population, about 20% that we're unsure of, but it's truly our tourists that are coming in and out of the city that are visiting us. That are coming from locations that may not be REAL ID.' The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not anticipate wait times. However, officials said those who do not have a REAL ID can expect to face a delay with additional screening. After May 7, you are still able to fly if you bring a passport, passport card, military ID, or accepted federal documents. 'We're going to work here in Charleston to identify the PreCheck passengers before they get into line, and we will divert them over to a secondary line at the point,' McMahon said. 'For our standard passengers, they're going to go through the screening process, and they will be interacted with just going to the ticket document checker. At which time, they will identify whether they're REAL ID and if not, they will be diverted into a secondary line for additional screening.' Airport officials said they will adjust as needed since the first days of enforcement are typically slower. Though they advise travelers to give themselves extra time with the busy summer travel season approaching. 'We monitor our top ten busiest days of all time. So far, this year, we have five of the top ten days over the month of April and part of March. So, what we're seeing is even beyond spring break, we are seeing an increase of travelers departing on Sundays and Mondays. If you plan on flying even the following Sunday and Monday, give yourself some extra time if you're non-compliant with your REAL ID because it will take you a little longer in that nature,' said McMahon. The SCDMV will still issue REAL IDs after the May 7 deadline. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
