Free Krispy Kreme doughnuts today for REAL ID deadline: How to get yours
It's REAL ID day, the day when, after 20 years and several delays, REAL ID-compliant identification or approved equivalent is now required to board commercial flights in the United States. For some people hustling to get theirs at the last minute, Krispy Kreme is happy to provide some quick energy in the form of free sugary treats. 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. This article originally appeared on Florida Times-Union: Krispy Kreme doughnuts free for REAL ID deadline: How to get one

REAL ID deadline arrives after 20 years The REAL ID deadline comes 20 years after the 2005 REAL ID Act passed amid other increasingly tight security measures following 9/11. The act established that Americans would need identification that met "minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards." Actual implementation of the regulations ultimately took two decades, hitting several road bumps along the way.
