REAL ID mandate now in effect across the nation
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The deadline for state-issued REAL IDs has arrived, with people across the country now required to get one in order to board flights or enter federal facilities. Despite the efforts to inform the public, according to the Missouri Director of Revenue, Trish Vincent, only 46 percent of Missouri license holders are in compliance with REAL ID. Ren Lubbering, Communications Coordinator for the Springfield-Branson National Airport, says most people will be able to fly tomorrow, regardless of whether their ID has been updated. 'A little over 70% of passengers here in Springfield in our airport already do have their REAL ID' says Lubbering, 'And so, we are expecting potentially some passengers to not be aware tomorrow that they're ID is not REAL ID compliant, but there is a process to help them get on a plane.' Tariffs impacting local flower shops ahead of Mother's Day Lubbering adds that those without a REAL ID should expect longer screenings at the airport. 'They may be subjected to additional screening and security measures at the gate. So, what that looks like is that they may have additional screening through the security checkpoint, and they may have to undergo additional security protocols, but they will still be able to fly.' TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling within the United States. Passengers traveling after this deadline should either travel with a REAL ID or an acceptable alternative form of ID, including: State-issued Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) or Enhanced ID (EID) US passport Permanent resident card Border crossing card Information on how to get your REAL ID can be found here.
