REAL IDs will be required for air travel in May: What you need to know
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – As of Monday, you have exactly one month to get your . Starting May 7, federal agencies like TSA will be prohibited from accepting state-issued cards that do not meet the requirements for air travel. This means you'll need a REAL ID or an equivalent form of identification to board a domestic flight. Small plane skids off runway into water at North Bend airport, 5 hospitalized Possessing a REAL ID is optional in the state of Oregon, but it will still be required if you fly within the country. According to the DMV, only 36% of Oregonians have one. Kathleen McDonald, a federal security director with TSA said all Oregonians 18 and up will need a , a passport, or another federally recognized ID to get through airport security. TSA has a of acceptable forms of ID. 'If you come on May 7 or later, and you don't have a REAL ID with you, you may experience an additional delay and some additional screening at the security checkpoint,' McDonald said. And if you have not already gotten your REAL ID, that means you'll need to take a trip to the DMV. Typically you'll need a valid ID, passport or birth certificate; proof of your social security number and date of birth; and two items (from different sources) proving state residency, like mail or bills. 'I made an appointment at the DMV, and the process was seamless. It literally took me like 10 minutes to get it,' McDonald said. But with , Chris Crabb with the Oregon DMV urges travelers not to drag their feet. 'We are seeing record attendance at our DMV offices,' Chris Crabb with the Oregon DMV said. 'We have offered a lot more appointments — made those available — but they are getting snatched up as soon as we release them.' Once documents are approved, Crabb said the DMV will issue a temporary card, but that paper copy won't fly with TSA. It could take up to three weeks for the hard copy to land in your mailbox. 'Now is the time. If you had a flight on May 7 and you didn't have a passport or another accepted federal identification, April 16 will be the last day that you would confidently get your card in the mail,' Crabb said. But before making an appointment, check your wallet. You may already have a REAL ID, as Oregon has been issuing them for years ahead of the deadline. To know for sure, look for a star in the corner of your state-issued ID. If you do, you can save yourself a trip to the DMV. City of Portland managers to make full-time return to workplace Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 following 9/11 to create a national minimum requirement for state driver's licenses and ID cards. The official deadline is May 7, 2025. Once this deadline passes, you will need a REAL ID or another form of identification in order to fly within the United States or even enter a government building. However, REAL IDs are not the same as a passport and cannot be used for international travel. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Oregon representative counters bill against book bans by reading explicit excerpt
PORTLAND, Ore. () — In opposition to a bill that would limit book bans in Oregon schools, a state representative read an explicit excerpt of a novel found in a library for students. The passage of would immediately prohibit schools from banning certain material from libraries due to their subject matter or on the basis of the author's identities that are protected under Oregon's anti-discrimination laws — like race, gender identity and sexual orientation. It would also push for schools to enforce requirements for the removal of said books. Some Oregon DMV offices experience staffing shortages ahead of Real ID deadline The Senate Committee on Education voted to pass the bill on Monday morning. Just a few hours later at the House chamber, Oregon Rep. Dwayne Yunker countered the measure by reciting a sexual passage from 'The Haters' by Jesse Andrews — a book that a mother attempted to get pulled from the North Valley High School library. 'She guided me on my back and pulled on the bottom of my briefs,' Yunker read, in part, from page 265 of the novel. 'I pushed them over my knees and feet, and was really naked and not hard at all. She straddled me and pulled her top off. Her breasts flopped out, and I saw them.' Coos Bay man faces federal charges for making, distributing child pornography The Grants-Pass-based representative's presentation was interrupted when Rep. Kevin Mannix objected to it due to its 'lascivious and obscene' nature, before Rep. David Gomberg called the House at ease. Following a brief break, Gomberg reminded legislators of the rules against indecent or profane language on the House floor. Mannix then interrupted Yunker once again when he proceeded to read the explicit passage from the book. When Yunker began his presentation for a third time, he instead noted recent sexual abuse cases in Oregon schools — including the accused of child sex abuse and within the St. Helens School District. Man dies after late-night SE Portland shooting Continuing to offer sexually explicit materials in school libraries 'normalizes such behaviors,' according to the representative. 'There's increasingly focus on the authorship of books, rather than evaluating whether the content is appropriate for young readers, and alarmingly, [it] is now easier for children to access rated-R materials from school libraries than obtain the super content from a local movie theater,' Yunker said.
