A warning has been issued that every person over the age of 18 wanting to travel by air after May 7 will need to have a specific document – or be turned away. Officials from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have said that people need to have a REAL ID-compliant state-issued driver’s license, instruction permit or identification card or another acceptable form of ID to board a U.S. commercial aircraft.
From May 7 if holidaymakers and other travelers do not have one of the acceptable forms of ID they can expect a minimum of delays when they get to the TSA security checkpoint. Officials say the length of the delay will be determined by the number of other travelers who do not have a REAL ID-compliant credential or another form of identification accepted by TSA for identity verification.

TSA has a full list of acceptable forms of identification beyond a state-issued driver’s license or identification card that can be presented at the security checkpoint for identity verification. Some examples of alternate forms of acceptable identification are a U.S. passport or passport card; any government-issued passport; Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler card including a Global Entry or SENTRI card; active duty and retired military ID including IDs issued to dependents; ID card issued by any federally-recognized tribe; and the Transportation Worker Identification Credential.
