Description
NOTE: Department of Homeland Security
announced that it is extending the
Real ID enforcement deadline for two more years to, May 7, 2025 due to the pandemic.
Previous deadline was for May 3, 2023. People will either need a valid passport or REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state identification card to fly domestically and enter certain federal buildings by May 7, 2025
.
Beginning May 7, 2025, the U.S. Federal Government will require anyone boarding an airplane for domestic travel or entering certain federal buildings to have a "verified" driver's license, state-issued ID card or be required to show additional proof of identification, such as a passport. This verification is indicated on your license or ID card by a gold star in the top right corner. This federal law is commonly referred to as "REAL ID."
Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles started this program to offer verified identity protection to people renewing driver licenses and DMV-issued identification cards. This verification is done now on applicants for new licenses and ID cards. These identity-checked driver licenses and DMV-issued identification cards are part of a federal program showing that the credential holders meet a federal identity standard that might be used for entering federal buildings, boarding an airplane or doing commercial transactions.
