Travel ID Requirements - AO Trips

Real ID Act-Domestic Travelers

The Transportation Security Administration is reminding travelers that beginning May 7, 2025, every traveler must present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, or another acceptable form of identification, to fly within the United States.

Travelers can check DHS REAL ID webpage at any time to learn if your state is compliant and can check with your state's agency that issues driver's licenses about how to acquire a compliant license. The earlier your state becomes compliant, the more likely you will be able to acquire a compliant license as part of the normal renewal cycle.

Regarding minors: TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling with a companion within the United States. The companion will need acceptable identification.
