It's official: Real IDs are Risa Sakamoto Archivesrequired to fly in the United States (well, kind of).
Following two decades of bureaucratic groundwork since the proposal for federally validated licenses passed, the enhanced license is now an official part of the security process for domestic travel and entry into certain federal facilities. Marked by a small star in the corner of the document, the identification standards are overseen by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and enforced by the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA).

Here's how much extra time you need at securityIndividuals flocked to renew their licenses over the last few months, creating increased demand at local DMVs and heightened confusion around travel throughout the country, amid an already tense travel environment. On Tuesday, DHS and TSA representatives clarified they would still accept travelers without Real IDs, but with additional (read: lengthy) security protocols for those with other accepted identification.

So, for the many Americans who have yet to procure their enhanced licenses: You still have a bit of time.
The Real ID application process (and required documents) vary by state. Federal agencies recommend individuals visit the DMV or licensing authority for their state of residency to get the specifics — fortunately, the DHS has made that a little easier.
Scroll down to the bottom of the department's Real ID readiness hub and you'll find an interactive map of U.S. states and territories, automatically linking to the region's relevant office. The website also walks individuals through whether or not their current travel plans are "Real ID ready" and answers Frequently Asked Questions.
Each state will require, at the minimum, documentation that verifies your full legal name, date of birth, Social Security Number, and two proofs of residence, as well as validation of lawful status to reside in the U.S. Get those in order ASAP. Beyond this, each state will have different additional document or process requirements, such as the ability to complete an application online (California) or have your documents pre-screened before the DMV (New York).
