Midland, Texas/May 8, 2025-May 7th, was the deadline for every traveler who comes to an airport security checkpoint will be required to present a REAL ID. The 911 commission recommended REAL ID as an additional layer of security for travelers at TSA checkpoints.

REAL ID requires that each person verify their identity when purchasing a ticket. All documents with an expiration date are considered REAL ID compliant.

If you do not have a REAL ID driver license you must arrive approximately 7 hours before your flight for TSA to verify your identity. However, it is not guaranteed that you would be able to make you board your flight.

For a comprehensive list and requirement or for more information go to tsa.gov or on TSA social media platforms.
