Homeland Security Announces Final Extension for REAL ID Compliance

Washington, D.C. – May 7, 2025 – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a final extension for full enforcement of the REAL ID Act, giving states additional time to ensure all residents have compliant identification before boarding domestic flights or entering federal facilities.

Originally set to take full effect in May 2025, the deadline has now been pushed to May 7, 2026, marking the fifth extension since the law was passed in 2005. DHS cited lingering delays in state DMV processing and the need for public awareness as key reasons for the postponement.

What Is REAL ID?

The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards in response to post-9/11 security recommendations. Once enforced, travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant license, a U.S. passport, or another federally approved ID to:

Board domestic flights

Enter nuclear power plants

Access certain federal buildings

State Progress and Public Preparedness

As of May 2025, all 50 states and U.S. territories are issuing REAL IDs, but millions of Americans still hold non-compliant licenses. DHS estimates that nearly 40% of travelers could face disruptions if enforcement began today.

'We recognize that many Americans still need to upgrade their IDs,' said DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. 'This final extension ensures everyone has ample time to comply without unnecessary travel interruptions.'

How to Get a REAL ID

To obtain a REAL ID, individuals must visit their local DMV with:

Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport)

Social Security card or W-2

Two proofs of residency (utility bill, lease agreement)

Enhanced driver’s licenses (EDLs) and U.S. passports will also remain valid alternatives.

What’s Next?

With no further extensions expected, DHS urges Americans to act before the 2026 deadline to avoid last-minute rushes. Airlines and TSA will begin issuing reminders later this year.
