The deadline to get a new ID to board domestic flights is quickly approaching.

New York residents will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license by May 2025.

If they do not have one, they will need another form of approved identification, such as a passport.

The REAL ID driver’s license and identification are distinguished by having a small star in the upper right corner to indicate they meet federal minimum security standards.
