A Real ID is a federally approved form of identification that meets stricter security standards. Starting May 7, 2025, you’ll need a Real ID (or a passport) to fly domestically or enter federal buildings.

You don’t need one to get a CDL, but it’s useful if you travel or visit government facilities.

To get a Real ID, you’ll typically need to bring:

  1. Proof of identity – e.g., valid passport or birth certificate

  2. Social Security number – e.g., Social Security card or W-2

  3. Two proofs of residency – e.g., utility bill, lease, or bank statement with your name and address

  4. Legal name change documents (if your name is different from your ID)

👉 Documents must be original or certified copies—photocopies are not accepted. Always check your state’s DMV site for exact requirements.
